Neural mechanism underlying the beneficial effect of Theory of Mind psychotherapy on early-onset schizophrenia: a randomized controlled trial

CONCLUSION: These findings suggest a potential neural mechanism by which ToM psychotherapy exerts a beneficial effect on early-onset schizophrenia via strengthening the coordination capacity of the insula in brain structural networks, which may provide a clinically translatable biomarker for monitoring or predicting responses to ToM psychotherapy.Clinical trial registration: NCT05577338; ClinicalTrials.gov.PMID:37935475 | PMC:PMC10635708 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230049
