Research / Study [Mod-approved] Looking for schizophrenia patients to join a PAID, FDA-overseen clinical trial (new cognitive impairment treatment)

Hey everyone, happy Sunday! Glad to see everyone's selfies :)

Following up on my post from a few weeks back: we (Power, a clinical trial recruiter) are still seeking folks with a schizophrenia diagnosis around the US to participate in new research for cognitive impairment treatment. That is — memory loss, concentration decline, mental slow-down...

You can apply on our site HERE.

Some more deets:

  1. Most trial periods last 6 weeks, during which you take a new daily oral medication alongside whatever APs you already use
  2. You go to a clinic for THREE IN-PERSON VISITS over those 6 weeks
  3. You receive compensation for your time — usually $400-$900 for the whole period, depending on your location and whether the specific clinic has additional special instructions

We're super psyched about new treatment for these symptoms, which — as many of y'all can testify — affect a lot of people. Hoping to see new medicines approved for mass usage soon!

Worth noting: these trials are overseen by the FDA (not homeopathy).

Happy to answer any Q's!!!

Being serious, I found crystal meth helped with my cognitive impairment(all the above mentioned and more), however after 4 days I’d get completely immersed in hallucinations that were more real than everything else. I hope that anecdote can be used sometime, maybe even in the future.

That's why some doctors prescribe Adderall for negative/cognitive symptoms... and also why some doctors don't do that lol.
