Brain stimulation for schizophrenia with low insight
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-stimulation approach for people with schizophrenia (or schizoaffective disorder) who don’t always recognize how their illness affects them. It may help improve symptoms and insight while you stay on stable medications during the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and can join as an inpatient or outpatient
- You have a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
- You can freely agree to join and understand the study details, in English
- You have limited awareness of your illness (a specific test score range)
- Your antipsychotic and other main medications have been stable for at least 2 months
- You do NOT have conditions that block the treatment tests (like certain ear problems or an MRI-incompatible metal implant)

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to improve brain connectivity in people with schizophrenia. It may help with symptoms by using magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (hi-tACS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. If you are a right-handed adult with stable schizophrenia, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether special sound-based stimulation can help improve brain “communication timing” in people with early-course schizophrenia. It compares participants with early-course schizophrenia to healthy volunteers without a psychiatric history to see how brain function changes.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation approach can improve thinking (cognition) in people with schizophrenia and how it changes brain electrical signals and a brain chemical called GABA. It may help researchers understand new ways to support thinking and symptoms.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help improve social thinking and understanding in people with psychosis. Researchers want to see if this treatment can boost how you read social cues and connect with others.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation, called temporal interference stimulation, to see if it can help reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia who have not improved with at least two different antipsychotic medications. It is an exploratory study, meaning it is early research to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
