Studying social skills and brain changes in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how social thinking and brain structure change over time in people with schizophrenia compared to healthy adults. It uses brain scans to see if iron levels in the brain play a role.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) to understand brain activity in people with schizophrenia. It may help researchers learn more about the condition and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to social outcomes in people with schizophrenia. It may help find better ways to support social functioning with personalized treatment approaches.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to look at brain activity in people with schizophrenia. It helps researchers understand the condition better, and you do not receive any treatment.
This study looks at how the brain processes social situations in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It aims to understand brain activity during social interactions, which could help improve future treatments.
This study looks at brain chemicals involved in “glutamate” and “GABA” signaling in people with schizophrenia (and separately in healthy volunteers). It may help researchers understand what’s going wrong in the brain and guide future treatments.
This study looks at how people think and make decisions by using computer tasks and brain scans. It hopes to find better ways to measure thinking, which could help improve treatments for conditions like schizophrenia.
