OLZ/SAM for Schizophrenia

Washington D.C., District of Columbia

Music Video Game for Schizophrenia

Catonsville, Maryland
Schizophrenia spectrum disorders are associated with impairment in the microstructure of white matter, the key brain tissue responsible for fast communication between different brain regions necessary for any complex task. This white matter impairment is linked to problems with cognition in schizophrenia, especially slower processing speed. This project aims to study the potential for correcting white matter deficits in schizophrenia by examining mechanisms underlying white matter structure changes in response to training on playing a mock musical instrument.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I’ve been treated over the years from my late teens. I’ve been through many therapists for my bipolar and my anxiety. None of it’s helped. I gave up when I was 27. It’s been 5 years of struggling day by day. My fiancé has finally suggested I look into trying to get help so I’m hoping this clinical trial will help."

WZ
Schizophrenia PatientAge: 32

"I would like to get a medication that has fewer side effects than the ones I've used. Many antipsychotics just make me numb or flat and I can't really think. Also I like the idea of helping in research to find better medications for schizephrenia."

VT
Schizophrenia PatientAge: 60

"I've tried lots of drugs and I still have symptoms. I'm not sure of my reality because the things I see and hear are still active. Maybe this will help one way or the other. I would be glad to help others in the future by testing a medication as well."

CY
Schizophrenia PatientAge: 62

"I've tried many medications that didn't work that well. I really really want to be better and function in society... a different kind of treatment could help."

FF
Schizophrenia PatientAge: 36

"I really would love to be normal. A functioning part of society. It is very hard to hold a job with this condition. I need to be steady. I do NOT like my current meds or ones I've tried before, so new therapies are of interest to me. "

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain

Baltimore, Maryland
Chronic musculoskeletal pain has a highly negative impact on Veterans, especially those with serious mental illness (SMI). Chronic musculoskeletal pain leads to poorer mental and physical health-related functioning, representing a critical obstacle to rehabilitation and recovery for SMI Veterans. Despite known high prevalence rates of chronic pain in SMI populations, there is little research to evaluate nonpharmacological pain management strategies in this population. This study aims to address this research and clinical gap by testing the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) - a VA evidence-based psychotherapy for chronic pain - in Veterans with SMI and chronic low back pain. The study will primarily evaluate the impact of CBT-CP on pain-related functioning, quality of life, and pain severity. This study will also examine relationships between pain and mental health symptoms, and how these relationships may change with CBT-CP completion.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Schizophrenia

Baltimore, Maryland
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) in subjects with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. There is a subset of patients with schizophrenia who continue to have persistent psychotic symptoms (auditory hallucinations and delusions) despite multiple adequate medication trials with antipsychotic medications including clozapine. There are currently no available treatments for such patients who generally have poor function and are chronically disabled, unable to work, live independently or have meaningful social relationships. Neuroimaging studies in patients with schizophrenia have revealed information about pathological neural circuits that could be suitable targets using deep brain stimulation. Although not yet tested in patients with schizophrenia, DBS is in early phase clinical trials in other psychiatric disorders. This pilot study will investigate the use of DBS in treatment-resistant schizophrenia subjects who have exhausted all other therapeutic alternatives but continue to have persistent disabling psychotic symptoms. Of note, DBS is not FDA approved for use in patients with schizophrenia. The method will be similar to that used in subthalamic nucleus stimulation in patients with Parkinson's Disease. However, the electrode will be advanced slightly inferior into the SNr, a major outflow nucleus of the basal ganglia, with the intention of causing local inhibition of SNr outflow resulting in disinhibition of the mediodorsal nucleus (MDN) of the thalamus. Hypofunction of the MDN has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia in post-mortem as well as multiple structural and functional imaging studies. Evidence suggests that dysfunction of the MD is implicated in both positive and cognitive symptoms (such as working memory impairment) in schizophrenia. Frequent monitoring and clinical assessment with psychiatric scales will be used to monitor treatment response.

Clozapine for Schizophrenia

Baltimore, Maryland
This trial is testing whether clozapine can reduce violent behavior more effectively than usual treatments in adults with schizophrenia who have recently been violent. Clozapine helps by balancing brain chemicals to manage symptoms. The study will last for several months and include regular medical check-ups. Clozapine has been shown to reduce violent and aggressive behavior in patients with schizophrenia, especially those who are treatment-resistant.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Serious Mental Illness-related Chronic Pain

Baltimore, Maryland
Chronic pain has a highly negative impact on Veterans, especially those with serious mental illness (SMI). Chronic pain leads to poorer mental health and physical functioning, and represents a critical obstacle to rehabilitation and recovery. Despite known high prevalence rates of chronic pain in SMI populations, there is little research to: a) evaluate nonpharmacological pain management strategies in this population, and b) examine directional relations between chronic pain and SMI symptoms. This study aims to address research and clinical gaps by: a) testing the feasibility and acceptability of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) - a VA evidence-based psychotherapy for chronic pain - in Veterans with SMI, and b) better assessing the complex relation between chronic pain and psychiatric symptoms and their impact on functioning. Results from this study will inform us as to whether CBT-CP is feasible to implement, acceptable to Veterans with SMI, and worth examining in its standard or in an optimized form in a larger clinical trial.
