Brain-derived miRNA biomarkers in first-episode psychosis
Researchers will test whether specific brain-derived microRNAs in blood can help identify schizophrenia early and track treatment in people with first-episode psychosis on aripiprazole or risperidone.
-
dACC-targeted temporal interference for negative symptoms in schizophrenia
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference stimulation, aimed at the dACC, can help with negative symptoms and cognitive difficulties in people with schizophrenia.
-
TIS for Improving Cognitive Impairment in Schizophrenia
A noninvasive brain stimulation study tests whether Temporal Interference Stimulation can improve thinking skills in adults with schizophrenia and cognitive impairment, compared to a sham treatment.
-
Virtual reality mindfulness for reducing aggression in schizophrenia
We will test whether a virtual reality mindfulness program can help people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder reduce impulsive aggression.
-
Reducing Mental Health Stigma Among Healthcare Workers and Students with a Virtual Reality Protocol
This study tests a VR protocol to see if putting healthcare workers and students in the first-person experience of psychotic symptoms can reduce explicit and implicit stigma toward schizophrenia.
-
How the schizophrenia brain uses ketones and glucose
This project will use PET scans to see if ketone and glucose use in the brain changes in people aged 18–35 who are newly diagnosed with schizophrenia before and after starting antipsychotic treatment, compared with healthy controls.
-
Cognitive Strategies in Early Psychosis 2 – how brain games and pills test decision making
This study tests whether a single dose of modafinil or d-serine, compared with placebo, changes decision making in people aged 18–35 who have recently begun experiencing psychosis.
-
Inter-brain synchrony and social connection in schizophrenia
This study will test whether synchronized brain activity between pairs differs for people with schizophrenia compared with people without psychotic disorders, and whether prompting social closeness increases synchrony.
