Summary

This study looks at whether adding cognitive remediation (computer-based brain exercises with group coaching) to standard care helps young people with early psychosis function better in daily life. About 117 participants from nine OnTrackNY programs will either get usual care or usual care plus cognitive remediation, delivered either in-clinic or partly remote. The goal is to see if the extra training improves work, school, and social outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cognitive remediation (computer-based brain exercises plus group coaching)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding cognitive training to standard early-psychosis care helps young people function better at work, school, or socially.
What could go wrong
This trial is suspended and only includes people already in a specific program, so results may not apply widely. The study is also small and focuses on measuring outcomes rather than proving a treatment works.
