Active clinical trials for "Schizophrenia"

Primary objective: To examine whether the switch to paliperidone ER from risperidone improves cognitive function in stabilized patients with schizophrenia. Secondary objectives: To compare the general clinical outcomes (efficacy and safety) after switching to paliperidone ER from risperidone

A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with MK-8998 as compared to placebo and olanzapine for acutely psychotic patients with schizophrenia. The primary hypothesis is that in participants undergoing an acute psychotic episode of schizophrenia, MK-8998 6 to 8 mg twice daily is superior to placebo in the treatment of symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the mean change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score at Week 4.

This is an outpatient study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of cariprazine in patients with schizophrenia.

This study will determine the effectiveness of artemisinin plus risperidone in improving symptoms and cognitive disturbances and in Chinese people with schizophrenia. The study addresses the Toxoplasma infection hypothesis of schizophrenia.

The investigators seek to examine the effect of add-on N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) in the early phase of schizophrenia spectrum illness in collaboration with researchers Kim Do, PhD, and Philippe Conus, MD in Switzerland. Modifications of brain structure are thought to occur during the pre-illness phase and around the transition to psychosis. Therefore, studying new treatments that could target changes occurring during this period is of critical importance. Aims: Does add-on NAC treatment in early psychosis influence: positive and negative symptoms extrapyramidal side-effects of other medication plasma concentration of glutathione Mismatch Negativity, a physiological marker

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Illness Management and Recovery program for people diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in according to their level of functioning.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of three different doses of OPC-34712 with placebo in the treatment of acute schizophrenia in adults.

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation in patients with schizophrenia.

The primary aim of this proposal is to develop, refine, manualize and assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a brief, narrowly-focused social cognitive intervention for individuals with psychosis. The intervention will focus on helping individuals interpret social situations, specifically the intentions and feelings of others. Study methods include preliminary treatment and manual development based on series of uncontrolled cases, manual refinement, and a small feasibility/efficacy trial of the newly developed intervention.

Obesity and physical inactivity have become serious problems for individuals with mental illness, resulting in increased rates of chronic disease, premature death, and substantial health care costs. Although in-person psychoeducational interventions help individuals with mental illness manage their weight, these interventions are often not used because they require frequent travel to treatment programs and substantial time from clinicians. This project addresses these barriers by developing and evaluating the effectiveness of an web-based computer system that is focused on diet and exercise education, and designed to help individuals with mental illness manage their weight.
