Brain stimulation study for thinking and memory in psychosis
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 study compares two types of brain stimulation (accelerated TBS vs high-frequency TMS) to see if they can improve thinking and memory problems in schizophrenia that hasn't responded to other treatments. You must be on clozapine and have treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
