NCT ID NCT07309172
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at how the brain uses ketones and sugar for energy in people experiencing their first episode of schizophrenia. Researchers will use PET scans to compare brain metabolism in 22 patients (before and after antipsychotic treatment) and 12 healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand brain energy changes in early schizophrenia, not to test a new treatment.
