NCT ID NCT07506070
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a type of cognitive training called Action-Based Cognitive Remediation (ABCR) can improve thinking skills in people with various psychiatric conditions like depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, PTSD, and autism. Participants will complete computer exercises and group discussions over 8 weeks to practice real-life tasks. The goal is to see if this training helps with memory, attention, and daily functioning better than no treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Action-Based Cognitive Remediation (ABCR) therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, non-drug therapy to help people with psychiatric disorders think more clearly and function better in daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (160 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy requires significant time commitment and may not work for everyone.
