Brain study seeks to unlock how therapy reshapes delusional thinking
NCT ID NCT06835556
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders update their beliefs after treatment for persecutory delusions. Researchers will use therapy, brain scans, and learning tasks to see if treatment changes how the brain responds to uncertainty. The goal is to better understand the thinking patterns behind delusions, not to test a new cure.
