Brain stimulation to improve connectivity in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if brain stimulation can improve how different brain regions communicate in people with schizophrenia. It may help improve thinking and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder.
- You do not have a history of seizures.

- You do not have any unstable medical conditions that affect the brain, like a recent stroke or head injury.
- You are not pregnant, and you can avoid alcohol and marijuana for at least 24 hours before each study visit.

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 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 pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
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 a type of brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (hi-tACS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. If you are a right-handed adult with stable schizophrenia, you may be able to join.
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.
