Read our Schizophrenia research guide →Researchers want to understand how schizophrenia affects your body's automatic nervous system—the part that controls things like heart rate and breathing—and also how it relates to what traditional medicine calls 'meridian energy.' This study will compare these measurements between people diagnosed with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers to see if there are detectable differences.
Scientists don't yet fully understand all the physical changes that happen in the body when someone has schizophrenia. By studying the nervous system and energy patterns, researchers hope to find new ways to better understand and eventually treat the condition.

You will visit the research center in northern Taiwan where you'll complete several questionnaires about your background, body constitution, and quality of life. Researchers will also measure your heart rate variability using specialized equipment and assess your meridian energy. The study compares information from 50 people with schizophrenia and 50 healthy volunteers, so your participation helps build this comparison data.
