Brain stimulation study for thinking and control
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain involved in coordination and learning) can improve “cognitive control,” or the ability to focus and manage thoughts. You may be able to join if you have a diagnosis they are specifically enrolling for and you can safely complete the stimulation and study procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have a history of repeated seizures or epilepsy
- You do not have other major neurological or psychiatric diagnoses beyond your study diagnosis
- You have no active substance use problem in the last 6 months (tobacco is allowed)

This pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
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 trial tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS to see if it can change brain connections that may be linked to symptoms. It might help people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are stable on their current medications.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation, or hi-tACS) to see if it can help with memory, attention, and other thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. You may join if you are clinically stable and on a steady dose of antipsychotic medication.
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.
