TBS treatment for weight gain from antipsychotics
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-stimulation treatment (TBS) to help reduce increased appetite and weight gain that can happen with antipsychotic medicines. It may be an option if you have schizophrenia and have gained weight after starting antipsychotics, and if you can safely have TBS and MRI exams.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can safely reduce the weight gain often caused by antipsychotic medications. If you've gained weight after taking these drugs, this non-invasive treatment might help you manage weight without changing your medicines.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help reduce weight gain caused by antipsychotic medications in people with schizophrenia. It also looks at how food cravings relate to treatment response, aiming to find better ways to manage this side effect.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called nTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia, like lack of motivation or social withdrawal. It's a possible treatment option for people with stable schizophrenia who still struggle with these symptoms.
This study tests a personalized form of brain stimulation called iTBS for people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if it works in everyday clinical settings.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with schizophrenia improve their ability to stop impulsive actions. By targeting the part of the brain that controls inhibition, researchers hope to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
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.
