NCT ID NCT05131035
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 10-week cognitive training program called SCORES for teens at high risk for psychosis. The program aims to improve processing speed (how fast the brain handles information) through game-like tasks, group coaching, and rewards. Researchers hope better processing speed will lead to improved social functioning and fewer psychosis symptoms. The study enrolls 54 teens and is currently recruiting.
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 program (SCORES) with group coaching and therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to improve thinking and social skills in teens at risk for psychosis, possibly lowering their chance of developing the disorder.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is intensive (40 hours) and may not work for all teens.
