Can sharing memories help schizophrenia patients think and connect better?
NCT ID NCT07512843
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a group reminiscence program—where people share and discuss past memories—is practical and helpful for adults hospitalized with schizophrenia. Thirty-eight participants took part in an 8-week program. Researchers measured changes in thinking, communication, and social skills, and also asked a smaller group about their experience. The goal was to see if this low-cost, social approach could improve daily functioning and well-being.
