      Why Other Patients Applied

      "I’ve been treated over the years from my late teens. I’ve been through many therapists for my bipolar and my anxiety. None of it’s helped. I gave up when I was 27. It’s been 5 years of struggling day by day. My fiancé has finally suggested I look into trying to get help so I’m hoping this clinical trial will help."

      WZ
      Schizophrenia PatientAge: 32

      "I would like to get a medication that has fewer side effects than the ones I've used. Many antipsychotics just make me numb or flat and I can't really think. Also I like the idea of helping in research to find better medications for schizephrenia."

      VT
      Schizophrenia PatientAge: 60

      "I've tried lots of drugs and I still have symptoms. I'm not sure of my reality because the things I see and hear are still active. Maybe this will help one way or the other. I would be glad to help others in the future by testing a medication as well."

      CY
      Schizophrenia PatientAge: 62

      "I've tried many medications that didn't work that well. I really really want to be better and function in society... a different kind of treatment could help."

      FF
      Schizophrenia PatientAge: 36

      "I really would love to be normal. A functioning part of society. It is very hard to hold a job with this condition. I need to be steady. I do NOT like my current meds or ones I've tried before, so new therapies are of interest to me. "

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain

      Baltimore, Maryland
      Chronic musculoskeletal pain has a highly negative impact on Veterans, especially those with serious mental illness (SMI). Chronic musculoskeletal pain leads to poorer mental and physical health-related functioning, representing a critical obstacle to rehabilitation and recovery for SMI Veterans. Despite known high prevalence rates of chronic pain in SMI populations, there is little research to evaluate nonpharmacological pain management strategies in this population. This study aims to address this research and clinical gap by testing the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) - a VA evidence-based psychotherapy for chronic pain - in Veterans with SMI and chronic low back pain. The study will primarily evaluate the impact of CBT-CP on pain-related functioning, quality of life, and pain severity. This study will also examine relationships between pain and mental health symptoms, and how these relationships may change with CBT-CP completion.

      Deep Brain Stimulation for Schizophrenia

      Baltimore, Maryland
      The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) in subjects with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. There is a subset of patients with schizophrenia who continue to have persistent psychotic symptoms (auditory hallucinations and delusions) despite multiple adequate medication trials with antipsychotic medications including clozapine. There are currently no available treatments for such patients who generally have poor function and are chronically disabled, unable to work, live independently or have meaningful social relationships. Neuroimaging studies in patients with schizophrenia have revealed information about pathological neural circuits that could be suitable targets using deep brain stimulation. Although not yet tested in patients with schizophrenia, DBS is in early phase clinical trials in other psychiatric disorders. This pilot study will investigate the use of DBS in treatment-resistant schizophrenia subjects who have exhausted all other therapeutic alternatives but continue to have persistent disabling psychotic symptoms. Of note, DBS is not FDA approved for use in patients with schizophrenia. The method will be similar to that used in subthalamic nucleus stimulation in patients with Parkinson's Disease. However, the electrode will be advanced slightly inferior into the SNr, a major outflow nucleus of the basal ganglia, with the intention of causing local inhibition of SNr outflow resulting in disinhibition of the mediodorsal nucleus (MDN) of the thalamus. Hypofunction of the MDN has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia in post-mortem as well as multiple structural and functional imaging studies. Evidence suggests that dysfunction of the MD is implicated in both positive and cognitive symptoms (such as working memory impairment) in schizophrenia. Frequent monitoring and clinical assessment with psychiatric scales will be used to monitor treatment response.

      Clozapine for Schizophrenia

      Baltimore, Maryland
      This trial is testing whether clozapine can reduce violent behavior more effectively than usual treatments in adults with schizophrenia who have recently been violent. Clozapine helps by balancing brain chemicals to manage symptoms. The study will last for several months and include regular medical check-ups. Clozapine has been shown to reduce violent and aggressive behavior in patients with schizophrenia, especially those who are treatment-resistant.

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Serious Mental Illness-related Chronic Pain

      Baltimore, Maryland
      Chronic pain has a highly negative impact on Veterans, especially those with serious mental illness (SMI). Chronic pain leads to poorer mental health and physical functioning, and represents a critical obstacle to rehabilitation and recovery. Despite known high prevalence rates of chronic pain in SMI populations, there is little research to: a) evaluate nonpharmacological pain management strategies in this population, and b) examine directional relations between chronic pain and SMI symptoms. This study aims to address research and clinical gaps by: a) testing the feasibility and acceptability of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) - a VA evidence-based psychotherapy for chronic pain - in Veterans with SMI, and b) better assessing the complex relation between chronic pain and psychiatric symptoms and their impact on functioning. Results from this study will inform us as to whether CBT-CP is feasible to implement, acceptable to Veterans with SMI, and worth examining in its standard or in an optimized form in a larger clinical trial.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Schizophrenia clinical trials in Washington, DC pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Schizophrenia clinical trials in Washington, DC work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Schizophrenia trials in Washington, DC 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Washington, DC for Schizophrenia is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Washington, DC several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Schizophrenia medical study in Washington, DC?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Schizophrenia clinical trials in Washington, DC?

      Most recently, we added Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain, Evenamide for Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia and KYN-5356 for Schizophrenia to the Power online platform.

      Why is schizophrenia more common now?

      Most studies show the yearly number of new schizophrenia cases hasn’t skyrocketed; it only feels more common because doctors now catch milder cases and people with the illness live longer, so more are counted at any one time. Modern lifestyle changes—growing up in crowded cities, high-potency cannabis use, migration stress, older parenthood, and ongoing poverty—do add modest risk for certain groups, nudging overall figures upward. Recognising these drivers guides prevention efforts like early screening, substance-use education, urban social support, and good prenatal care.

      What is the best injection for schizophrenia?

      There isn’t one “best” injection for everyone with schizophrenia. Doctors usually choose among long-acting injectables such as paliperidone (monthly to every 6 months), aripiprazole (monthly or every 2–3 months) or risperidone (every 2 weeks to monthly) based on which oral version has helped you before, how often you can come for shots, and which side-effects you’re most sensitive to. Your psychiatrist will review these factors—plus cost, other health conditions and personal preference—to decide which LAI is the safest and most effective fit for you.

      Who is most likely to recover from schizophrenia?

      Research shows the best odds of meaningful recovery occur in people who get treatment quickly after their first symptoms, keep taking medication and using psychological/rehab supports, avoid alcohol or drugs, and have steady family or community support; women and those whose illness starts later in their 20s also tend to fare somewhat better, but these fixed factors matter less than the modifiable ones above. In short, while anyone with schizophrenia can improve, the combination of early intervention, sticking with care, healthy lifestyle, and strong social ties makes the biggest difference in who recovers.

      Is schizophrenia inherited from mother or father?

      Schizophrenia risk is passed down through many genes that you receive from both parents, and large studies do not show a consistent advantage of either the mother’s or the father’s side. Compared with the 1 % lifetime risk in the general population, the chance rises to about 10 % if one parent has schizophrenia and up to 40 % if both do; factors such as pregnancy complications, cannabis use, severe stress, or very advanced paternal age can add to that risk. Families with a history of the illness may benefit from genetic counselling and early mental-health check-ups during adolescence so any warning signs can be managed promptly.

      How is schizophrenia viewed in China?

      China does not have a single view of schizophrenia: in big cities many people now regard it as a treatable brain disorder, but in rural areas it may still be linked to spirit possession or seen as a source of family “shame,” so relatives often hide the illness and shoulder most care. High stigma persists because unusual behaviour is felt to threaten the family’s “face,” yet government programs such as the nationwide 686 follow-up system and the 2013 Mental-Health Law are expanding hospital care, community visits, and public education. Overall, attitudes are gradually shifting toward acceptance, but progress is uneven and support for both patients and their families remains a work in progress.

      Are there any clinical trials being done for schizophrenia?

      Yes—dozens of studies are actively recruiting worldwide, ranging from novel medicines like KarXT (muscarinic M1/M4 agonist), ulotaront (TAAR1 agonist), and roluperidone (aimed at negative symptoms) to long-acting weekly risperidone implants (TV-46000) and app-based cognitive programs. You can see real-time listings, eligibility criteria, and locations by typing “schizophrenia” into ClinicalTrials.gov or the EU Clinical Trials Register and then reviewing the options with your psychiatrist to weigh potential benefits, risks, and travel demands.

      What is the biggest problem of schizophrenia?

      Schizophrenia isn’t defined by one “biggest problem”; clinicians group its effects into positive symptoms (hallucinations/delusions), disorganization, negative symptoms (loss of drive, social withdrawal) and cognitive deficits. Studies show that after acute psychosis is controlled, the lasting obstacles to working, studying and maintaining relationships are usually the negative and cognitive symptoms, so effective care pairs antipsychotic medication with therapies and skills training that rebuild motivation, thinking and daily-living abilities.

      Who has the highest rate of schizophrenia?

      Worldwide, the single highest recorded rates occur in young adult Black Caribbean or Black African men who are migrants (or children of migrants) living in large urban areas; their chance of developing schizophrenia can be 4- to 9-times higher than that of white native-born residents. In general, men have a modestly higher risk than women (about 1.4 : 1), but factors such as minority or migrant status and growing up in a high-density city raise risk far more than sex alone.

      What's the latest schizophrenia can develop?

      Most people who develop schizophrenia do so between their late teens and early 30s, but experts recognise “late-onset” cases appearing at 40-60 and a rarer “very-late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis” beginning after 60. Because psychosis this late in life is uncommon and can mimic problems such as dementia, stroke, or severe depression, anyone with new hallucinations or delusions at these ages should be evaluated promptly by a mental-health professional and a physician to sort out the cause and start the right treatment.
