Brain training for thinking skills in schizophrenia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how computer-based thinking exercises might improve memory and attention in people with schizophrenia. It uses brain scans (MRI) to see if these exercises change how the brain works.

This study tests a brain-training method called neurofeedback that may help improve thinking and reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia. You'll get feedback on your brain activity while doing tasks, and the researchers hope it will help your brain work better.
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 study combines brain stimulation with physical exercise to see if it can improve thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. You will receive a gentle form of brain stimulation while doing exercise.
This study tests whether guided eye movement exercises can help improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia or those at high risk. It compares different groups to see who might benefit.
This study tests a program that combines social skills training with exercises to improve thinking and planning. It may help older adults with schizophrenia manage daily tasks better.
This study tests whether adding a mild brain stimulation therapy (called tDCS) to a supervised exercise program can help improve thinking and memory in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The goal is to see if combining these activities works better than exercise alone.
