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.

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 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 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 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 if combining a gentle brain stimulation technique (tACS) with talk therapy (CBT for psychosis) can help reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia. You would keep taking your usual medications throughout the study.
