TMS for negative symptoms in schizophrenia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, to treat persistent negative symptoms (like lack of motivation or social withdrawal) in people with schizophrenia. You'll be in a stable phase and your negative symptoms must have lasted at least 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of schizophrenia or a related disorder and have been in a stable phase for a while.
- You have had at least two negative symptoms (like lack of emotion, energy, or interest) for 6 months or more.
- Your medications have been steady for at least 6 weeks.
- You are fluent in French (B2 level or higher).

This trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia like lack of motivation or social withdrawal. It might be an option if your negative symptoms are more prominent than positive ones.
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 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.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people with depression, anxiety, OCD, or schizophrenia. It aims to find better ways to target the treatment for each person's specific needs.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce stubborn auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia who haven't improved enough with medication.
