Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

Assured treatment with Risperal CONSTA will provide first-episode patients, who have a greater potential for therapeutic response, with their best opportunity for continued improvement in cognitive function beyond three months of treatment.

Aim: 1. To confirm that patients with predominant negative symptoms in schizophrenia have deficits in frontal cortical dopamine release when compared with healthy control and patients with positive symptoms. 2. Our previous study found patients with negative symptoms have more possibilities to have disorders in glucose metabolism, we wonder whether dopamine release, negative symptoms or glucose metabolism can be improved by iTBS. Study design: Case control study.

The purpose of this study is to determine if zonisamide SR will prevent weight gain in schizophrenic subjects who take olanzapine (Zyprexa)

The primary purpose of this study was to conduct fMRI neuroimaging studies prior to and subsequent to the rTMS intervention. The intent was to ascertain changes in regional brain activation and connectivity that most robustly predict level of improvement in auditory hallucinations elicited by bilateral rTMS as assessed by the primary outcome variables.

The main purpose of the protocol is to test the efficiency of art-therapy versus metacognitive rehabilitation on the visual perception disorders observed in patients with schizophrenia.

The study aims to investigate the modulation of regional brain activation in schizophrenic patients by psychopharmacological treatment with either haloperidol, amisulpride or olanzapine. The study will be performed with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

This study will examine the physical response to clozapine or chlorpromazine in people with schizophrenia that has not improved with treatment.

The aim of this randomized, controlled trial is to study the effectiveness of a potential new form of pre-arrest jail diversion for people with serious mental illnesses: the Police-Mental Health Linkage System. In the case of an encounter with a police officer, for half of the participants, during the background check, a message will notify the officer that the subject has mental health considerations. The notice contains a phone number of a provider working at the mental health clinic where the subject is receiving services, who can provide telephonic support to the officer. For the other half of participants, the message will not appear to the officers in the case of an encounter.

When people are tested on a previously learned material, they will later remember it better even when compared to a condition where they can re-study it. This phenomenon is called retrieval practice and is supported by an extensive research literature mostly carried out in normal students. This paradigm begins to be used in cognitive remediation programs in patients suffering from memory difficulties. The objective of this study is to investigate whether retrieval practice is spared in patients with schizophrenia. If effective, this method could be used in cognitive remediation programs. Since episodic memory difficulties are supposed to be secondary to deficits in the initiation/elaboration of efficient encoding and retrieval strategies our hypothesis is that retrieval practice is spared in schizophrenia.
