Brain stimulation for cognitive issues in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with schizophrenia based on standard criteria.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are right-handed.
- You have been on the same antipsychotic medication dose for at least 4 weeks without changes.
- You score at least 10 on a thinking test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
- You do not have other conditions like bipolar disorder, epilepsy, or a brain tumor.

This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with schizophrenia. It involves 10 daily sessions and may help with daily functioning.
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the head (called tDCS) can improve thinking and memory problems in people with recent schizophrenia. It might help you think more clearly and better manage daily tasks.
This study tests if a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help improve cognitive functions like memory and attention in people with schizophrenia. If you are between 18 and 65, have a schizophrenia diagnosis, and are mentally stable, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation approach can improve thinking (cognition) in people with schizophrenia and how it changes brain electrical signals and a brain chemical called GABA. It may help researchers understand new ways to support 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 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.
