Schizophrenia Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Complex Aripiprazole Risperidone Mitochondrial Dysfunction

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how certain medications used to treat schizophrenia, specifically atypical antipsychotics like risperidone and aripiprazole, affect a part of our cells called mitochondria, which are important for energy production. Researchers want to better understand if these medications cause any changes in mitochondrial function, which could help us learn more about their effects and side effects. Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition affecting about 1% of people worldwide, and the aim of this trial is to improve treatment outcomes for patients by exploring these biochemical effects.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 18 and 60 years old and newly diagnosed with schizophrenia, or they should not have taken any antipsychotic medications for at least four weeks before joining. Additionally, participants should not have other serious health issues or specific genetic mitochondrial disorders. If eligible, participants will undergo evaluations to assess their health and how their body is responding to the medications. This trial is important because it is one of the first to directly compare how different antipsychotic medications might impact mitochondrial function in patients with schizophrenia.
