8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether learning and belief updating change in response to the treatment of persecutory delusions, in individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. The main questions are: 1. do prior expectations about environmental volatility reduce following effective psychotherapeutic treatment of delusions? 2. does corresponding brain activity related to volatility change with effective treatment of delusions? Participants will: 1. engage in CBTp or TAU + phone check-ins for 16 weeks 2. complete assessments at 4 timepoints over the course of 6 months 3. complete an MRI when possible
The main objective of this study is to decrease the severity of symptoms and improve psycho-social functioning in youth at high risk of developing psychosis by providing a specialized Group-and-Family-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (GF-CBT).
The main objective of this study is to determine the preliminary efficacy of Paranoia-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (PFCBT) relative to standard care in the treatment of persecutory delusions in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective Disorder.
Purpose: Test whether intranasal administration of the neuropeptide, oxytocin, improves social cognition, social functioning and decreases paranoia and other psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia. Participants: Up to 80 adults with schizophrenia for at least one year and with a high rating for paranoia. Procedures (methods): Oxytocin or placebo will be administered twice daily in an intranasal spray (6 insufflations/dose or 24 IU) for 6 weeks. Before, during and at the end of the trial, each subject will undergo social cognitive measures (primary outcomes) and psychiatric symptom ratings (secondary outcomes).
The purpose of the study was to determine in patients currently being administered antipsychotic pharmacotherapy whether PEAR-004 could further reduce symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The overall rationale for the study was to assess the first prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) in schizophrenia using a form of proven psychosocial intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to supplement standard of care with antipsychotic medications.
Purpose: Test whether intranasal administration of the neuropeptide, oxytocin, improves social cognition, psychotic symptoms and social functioning in schizophrenia. Participants: 80 adults with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder for at least one year. Procedures (methods): Oxytocin or placebo will be administered twice daily in an intranasal spray for 12 weeks. Before, during and at the end of the trial, each subject will undergo psychiatric symptom ratings and tests of mental abilities used in social functioning, cognition, and social competence.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with daily oral dose of AZD8529 40 mg administered over 28 days is safe, well tolerated and improves main symptoms of schizophrenia in adult schizophrenia patients.
This study examines the impact of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) on symptoms, physiological arousal, stressors, and the ways to deal with them in individuals with schizophrenia and related disorders. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the role cognitive coping strategies play in mediating the link between stress, physiological arousal, and psychotic symptoms in individuals with schizophrenia during recovery from psychosis.
