Personalized brain-based treatment for frequent voice hallucinations
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This early-phase study tests a personalized treatment plan for people who hear voices (auditory verbal hallucinations) at least weekly. It uses brain/machine-based information to try to better target hallucinations and monitor safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Speak English well enough to follow study instructions
- Right-handed
- Have a diagnosis such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or a related psychotic disorder
- Have heard voices at least once a week for a period of time
- Be able to have MRI scans (no metal in the body, no pacemaker, and not severely claustrophobic)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) and real-time feedback to help train the brain to reduce frequent, distressing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may try a structured neurofeedback program while researchers track changes in your symptoms.
This study builds a computer model of how the brain produces auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) using brain scans and EEG. It aims to understand the brain activity behind voice-hearing, which could help improve treatments.
This study tests a new brain-training method that may help people with schizophrenia who hear voices. It uses MRI to give real-time feedback to help you control brain activity related to the voices.
This trial tests whether real-time brain imaging “neurofeedback” can help people with schizophrenia who have ongoing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) that haven’t improved with medications. If you qualify, you may complete brain-scanning sessions where you practice changing brain activity while being monitored.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation method (TMS) along with brain scans (MRI) to better understand why hallucinations happen in schizophrenia. It may help researchers learn more about brain processes involved, which could guide future treatments.
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.
