First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a 4-week mindfulness group therapy program, added to usual care, can reduce symptoms in 252 young people (ages 16-35) hospitalized for early psychosis. Participants are randomly assigned to either the mindfulness program plus standard treatment or standard treatment alone. The main goal is to see if mindfulness helps lower overall psychiatric symptoms after 4 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

mindfulness-based group therapy

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new, drug-free way to help young people manage psychosis symptoms during hospitalization.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage trial with no phase, so results are uncertain. The therapy is added to standard care, so any benefit may be small or hard to separate from usual treatment.
