Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant voices in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) to help reduce the frequency and intensity of voices people with schizophrenia hear. It is for individuals who continue to hear voices frequently despite trying multiple medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have schizophrenia and your main problem is hearing voices that others don't.
- You still hear voices often (at least 10 times per hour) even after trying at least two different antipsychotic medications.
- Your medication dose for schizophrenia has not changed in the last 30 days.
- You are willing to have an MRI scan and do not have any metal or device in your body that would prevent it.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation, called temporal interference stimulation, to see if it can help reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia who have not improved with at least two different antipsychotic medications. It is an exploratory study, meaning it is early research to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
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.
This trial studies whether repeated noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can help reduce ongoing voice-hearing (auditory verbal hallucinations) in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It focuses on whether doing this after medication is already adjusted can improve symptoms and help keep them controlled.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to reduce persistent auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) that haven't improved with antipsychotic medication. It may help people who continue to hear voices despite trying several medications.
This trial tests a targeted brain stimulation method (rTMS) using brain imaging to treat persistent auditory hallucinations that haven't improved with medication. It may help people with schizophrenia who continue to hear voices despite trying multiple antipsychotics.
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.
