Self-administered COgnitive Personalized Training in Early Psychosis
- Conditions
- First Episode Psychosis (FEP)
- Interventions
- Device: a mobile application for cognitive trainingDevice: video games
- Registration Number
- NCT06634446
- Lead Sponsor
- Centre Hospitalier St Anne
- Brief Summary
The overall objective of SCOPe is to improve early intervention in psychosis by providing an innovative eHealth tool that will enable personalized cognitive training, adapted to the individual's cognitive abilities.
Cognitive remediation improves quality of life and functional outcome in patients with chronic psychosis. It would even be more efficacious in the early phase of psychosis by tackling the negative impact of psychosis on education achievement and employment. However, cognitive dysfunctions are often overlooked in FEP and cognitive remediation is not always accessible. New technologies can provide us with youth-friendly, non-stigmatizing tools, such as self administered, training applications so that all first-line clinical settings or professionals, and in fine all patients, can have access, wherever they live, to personalized cognitive training focusing on impaired functions.
Early psychosis can be associated with inflammation, metabolic deficiency, as well as early structural brain anomalies that reflect brain plasticity abilities and could influence the prognosis and response to cognitive training.
Our background hypothesis is that promoting neuroplasticity by cognitive training could attenuate or reverse early cognitive deficits and improve the overall functional outcome in young patients experiencing FEP and that this effect is modulated by individual brain plasticity abilities.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary assessment criterion Month 9 The main outcome will be the global functioning measured by the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Scale after 3 months of cognitive training . The PSP is a 100-point single-item rating scale. The ratings are done by a clinician, in 5-10 min, and require minimal training, with excellent inter-rater reliability. The scale considers four main areas:
1. socially useful activities;
2. personal and social relationships;
3. self-care; and 4) disturbing and aggressive behaviours during a determined reference period (hereit will be the last month). It was found to be a quick and valid measure, sensitive to change, of patients; personal and social functioning even in early stage of psychosis.
