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.
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 cognitive remediation program to see if it can improve thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. It also looks at how the brain changes with this training.
This study tests whether eye-movement exercises can improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia or those at high risk. It involves tasks you do on a computer while your eye movements are tracked.
This trial studies how a structured exercise program may affect brain health in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It may help researchers understand whether exercise can support brain function and overall health in this condition.
This study uses a special brain scan (functional MRI) to look at how schizophrenia affects thinking and memory. It may help researchers understand why some people with schizophrenia have trouble with concentration, planning, or remembering things.
