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 a type of brain stimulation (high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation, or hi-tACS) to see if it can help with memory, attention, and other thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. You may join if you are clinically stable and on a steady dose of antipsychotic medication.
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 compares two types of mild brain stimulation—tACS and tDCS—to see if they can help reduce symptoms of schizophrenia. It is for people who have had moderate to severe symptoms for at least two years and are on stable medications.
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 a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with early schizophrenia. If you qualify, you would receive the study treatment while continuing stable schizophrenia care.
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.
