What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between cognitive, metacognitive and social cognition variables in patients with psychosis undergoing VR-based Avatar Therapy for the treatment of auditory hallucinations. In addition to the primary intervention, participants will be assessed using validated tools for emotion recognition, attributional style, theory of mind, neurocognition, and metacognition. The study also explores the potential role of trauma as a predisposing factor. Assessments will be conducted at four time points: screening (week 0), baseline (week 12), intervention period (weeks 12-24), and post-therapy follow-up (week 24). By investigating these variables, this study seeks to better understand their impact on treatment outcomes and contribute to the development of personalized therapeutic approaches.
