Personalized brain training and supplements aim to improve life for youth with psychosis
NCT ID NCT05796401
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests a personalized care plan for 500 young people aged 15-30 with early psychosis. The plan combines cognitive training (using apps and virtual reality) with supplements (vitamin B12, folinic acid, Omega 3, NAC) tailored to each person's needs. The goal is to improve daily functioning and social skills, not to cure the condition.
