Summary

The loss of motivation has emerged as a critical symptom in schizophrenia that is consistently linked to functional disability for affected individuals. Despite advances in treatment, there have not emerged any effective treatments for this loss of motivation, which ultimately hinders our ability to promote recovery for individuals with schizophrenia. To address this critical unmet therapeutic need, this study aims to investigate a novel computerized motivation rehabilitation program using virtual reality to treat motivation loss in schizophrenia.
