TMS for persistent auditory hallucinations using a new setup
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a specific brain stimulation approach (TMS) to help reduce auditory hallucinations in adults with schizophrenia who have not improved enough with medications. It may help by changing how the brain regions involved in hearing voices are stimulated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old and can sign consent in writing
- You have schizophrenia-spectrum disorder and your consent test score is above 10
- You still have auditory hallucinations even after trying 2 or more antipsychotic medicines, including at least one newer (atypical) antipsychotic
- You are followed by a licensed medical/mental health provider (like a psychiatrist, therapist, or nurse practitioner)
- You can complete the study’s safety screenings, including an epilepsy (seizure) screen and a TMS readiness screen
- You agree to share contact details for your current providers (and provide two nearby backup contacts the team can reach)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help with depression in people who have schizophrenia. You would receive TMS sessions targeting areas of the brain linked to mood, and the goal is to see if this improves depression symptoms.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve brain connections in people with schizophrenia. It involves two types of MRI scans and several TMS sessions to see if it can help with thinking and symptoms.
This study tests a brain stimulation treatment (neuromodulation) to improve brain connectivity in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this approach can help with symptoms and cognitive function.
This study tests if brain stimulation can improve how different brain regions communicate in people with schizophrenia. It may help improve thinking and daily function.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce negative symptoms in people with schizophrenia. These symptoms include things like lack of motivation, limited speech, and not expressing emotions.
This trial tests a targeted brain stimulation method (rTMS) using brain imaging to treat persistent auditory hallucinations that haven't improved with medication. It may help people with schizophrenia who continue to hear voices despite trying multiple antipsychotics.
