Brain training for schizophrenia using neurofeedback
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback, which helps you learn to control certain brainwaves. It might improve thinking and daily function for people with schizophrenia who are otherwise stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 55 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
- You need to be stable — no hospital stays in the past 3 months and no medication changes in the past 4 weeks.
- You cannot have had a head injury that caused a loss of consciousness, or conditions like seizures, stroke, or brain cancer.
- You must not have had electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the last 6 months.
- You must be able to read and speak English and use a smartphone or tablet.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether real-time brain imaging “neurofeedback” can help people with schizophrenia who have ongoing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) that haven’t improved with medications. If you qualify, you may complete brain-scanning sessions where you practice changing brain activity while being monitored.
This study looks at how a type of brain training affects thinking skills in people with schizophrenia and healthy adults. It may help improve memory, attention, or problem-solving abilities.
This study looks at whether a treatment that targets brain “rhythms” can improve working memory in people who are in the early stage of schizophrenia. It may help the brain process information more effectively, which can support daily thinking and functioning.
This trial tests a brain-stimulation approach for people with schizophrenia (or schizoaffective disorder) who don’t always recognize how their illness affects them. It may help improve symptoms and insight while you stay on stable medications during the study.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) and real-time feedback to help train the brain to reduce frequent, distressing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may try a structured neurofeedback program while researchers track changes in your symptoms.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation, or hi-tACS) to see if it can help with memory, attention, and other thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. You may join if you are clinically stable and on a steady dose of antipsychotic medication.
