Neurofeedback treatment for schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations
This study is testing if a special brain training method can help people with schizophrenia who hear voices feel better by changing how their brain works.
NIH-funded research (14)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Non-drug ways and gene therapy to boost deep sleep brain cleaning in Alzheimer's models
This project tests three patient-friendly ideas to boost slow-wave brain activity in models of Alzheimer's disease, aiming to improve brain cleaning, reduce amyloid buildup, and boost memory-like tasks.
-
Enhancing deep sleep in Alzheimer's disease mice by modulating a brain relay
Researchers are testing a brain stimulation approach in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease to deepen slow-wave sleep and support brain health.
-
Near-infrared light during sleep to boost brain blood flow and slow Alzheimer's
Seeing if gentle near-infrared light given during deep sleep can improve brain blood flow and slow Alzheimer's progression.
-
Expanding genetic and personalized cancer care across diverse veteran communities
This project will bring genetic testing, tele-genetics, and personalized cancer and medication guidance to veterans in diverse and underserved communities.
-
Investigating brain activity patterns in schizophrenia and related mouse models
This study is looking at how brain activity works in people with schizophrenia compared to those without, to better understand the brain's balance of signals and how it might affect thinking and behavior.
-
Understanding how the brain regulates sleep after being awake for too long
This study is looking at how certain brain cells make us feel sleepier when we've been awake for a long time, which is something many of us deal with in our busy lives, and it hopes to find ways to help us cope better with not getting enough sleep.
-
Using genetic risk scores to improve disease prevention in primary care
This study is looking to create a way to understand your risk for common diseases like heart disease and breast cancer through genetic testing, so if you're at high risk, you can get personalized advice to help keep you healthy while others continue with regular care, and we'll check in on everyone over two years to se
-
Investigating if statins can prevent frailty in older adults
This study is looking at whether the medication atorvastatin can help older adults aged 75 and up stay stronger and healthier by preventing or slowing down frailty, which can lead to serious health problems.
-
Using near-infrared light during sleep to improve blood flow and slow Alzheimer's disease progression
This study is looking at how using near-infrared light therapy while you sleep could help improve blood flow in the brain and slow down Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of finding a new way to support brain health for people living with this condition.
-
Implementing genomic medicine for veterans
This study is working to improve healthcare for veterans by using their genetic information to create personalized treatments, making sure they get the best care possible based on their unique health needs.
-
Investigating real-time neurofeedback and its effects on brain function in individuals at high risk for psychosis
This study is looking for people who are at high risk of developing psychosis to try a new treatment that combines brain training with mindfulness exercises, hoping to improve how their brains work and help them think better.
-
Understanding different types of face perception issues and how to treat them
This study is looking at how people with developmental prosopagnosia, a condition that makes it hard to recognize faces, think and process information differently, and it aims to find the best training programs to help improve their face recognition skills based on their specific needs.
-
Using real-time brain feedback to help reduce auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia patients
This study is exploring whether a special brain training technique using real-time fMRI can help people with schizophrenia reduce their troubling auditory hallucinations by teaching them to control certain brain areas, and it involves two groups of participants—one getting the real training and the other a pretend vers
-
Using genetic risk scores to improve disease detection in primary care
This study is looking to see if genetic testing can help identify people at high risk for common diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and breast cancer, so they can get helpful advice right away, while others will be watched for two years to see how they do.
