First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether personalized nutrition counseling can lower inflammation in adults with schizophrenia who are on long-term antipsychotic medication. Participants receive either a tailored diet plan or standard hospital meals. The goal is to see if better nutrition can reduce a blood-based inflammation marker, potentially improving physical health.
