Brain circuit therapy for schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (TMS) to improve symptoms of schizophrenia. It aims to target brain circuits that may be out of balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder (like schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder).
- You have been on the same antipsychotic medication for at least 4 weeks and your condition is stable.
- You have not been hospitalized in an acute psychiatric ward in the last 3 months.
- You do not have active psychotic symptoms (like severe hallucinations or delusions) or a current major depressive episode.
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a pacemaker, or a history of seizures or certain neurological conditions.

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 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 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 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 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 new type of brain stimulation (called intermittent theta-burst stimulation) to see if it helps with symptoms like lack of motivation or trouble thinking clearly in people with schizophrenia. You will also have an MRI scan to see how the brain changes.
