Motion-controlled mobile games to improve thinking in people with schizophrenia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers developed a somatosensory interactive game that uses the gyroscope of mobile devices to train multiple cognitive domains relevant to schizophrenia. Adults with ICD-10 schizophrenia who are clinically stable and able to use a smartphone will be randomized to the game-based intervention versus usual care or control conditions. Standardized cognitive tests will be administered before and after the intervention to measure changes in attention, memory, and other cognitive functions. The trial is designed to evaluate both effectiveness and feasibility in a hospitalized Shanghai patient population.
