Examining the Efficacy of a Virtual Reality Cognitive Remediation Program for People Living With Psychosis

Sponsor: The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Individuals living with a psychotic disorder often experience changes to their thinking and social skills that can lead to challenges with work, school, relationships and living independently. One intervention to target these areas is cognitive remediation therapy, which can be delivered in virtual reality to help apply the skills and strategies learned to day-to-day life. Over the past few years, our team has co-developed a cognitive remediation program in virtual reality with healthcare professionals and people with lived experiences of psychosis. The current trial tests the feasibility and efficacy of this cognitive remediation program in virtual reality at improving thinking skills, social skills, and daily life functioning.

Cognitive Remediation

In each of the 12 visits, participants will complete exercises in virtual reality for two sessions of about 15 minutes separated by a break of 5 to 10 minutes. Participants then engage in a bridging conversation with study staff for about 15 minutes. More details about each condition will be added after study completion to protect the blinding of our participants.
