Identification of Factors to Predict Transition to Schizophrenia in Subjects with Ultra-high Risk for Psychosis: A Protocol for a Multicenter, Longitudinal Study of Sleep Parameters and Cytokine Levels
This is a multicenter, longitudinal cohort study participated by 7 hospitals in Japan. We will recruit 50 UHR people and 30 healthy volunteers as a control group, and measure positive symptom, depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and social function. Blood cytokines levels and sleep indices, as well as actigraphy data will be monitored. After the baseline assessment, clinical symptoms, sleep indices, and cytokine levels will be measured every 12 weeks for 52 weeks. Actigraphy devices will continue to be worn for 52 weeks, while social function will be assessed over 104 weeks. The results of this study are expected to facilitate the development of novel intervention therapies to reduce the risk of psychosis and improve functional outcomes.
