Magnetic seizure therapy for psychotic disorders
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests magnetic seizure therapy (MST) as a treatment for people with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. It aims to see if MST can help reduce symptoms like hallucinations or delusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Diagnosed with schizophrenia or another primary psychotic disorder
- Aged 18 to 55 years
- Current symptoms like hallucinations or delusions are at least moderate in severity (PANSS score 60 or higher)
- No severe medical illness or pregnancy

This study tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people who are at high risk for psychosis. The stimulation is personalized using a brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) to target the right areas.
This study compares two brain stimulation treatments—Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)—to see which works better for severe depression. If you are on a stable antidepressant and haven't had recent brain stimulation, this trial may be an option for you.
This trial tests a newer form of brain stimulation called multi-target TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia—like reduced emotion, motivation, and speech—in people whose symptoms aren't fully controlled by medication alone.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called magnetic seizure therapy (MST) for people with schizophrenia who haven't gotten better with standard medicines. The goal is to see if MST can help reduce symptoms like hallucinations or confusion.
This trial studies whether a seizure-like therapy using magnet stimulation can quickly reduce severe depressive symptoms in people with bipolar depression or treatment-resistant depression. It may help when depression is intense and hasn’t improved enough with at least two antidepressant medicines.
This study compares two types of brain stimulation treatments—electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and magnetic seizure therapy (MST)—to see which works better for people with certain mental health conditions. It may be an option if you have a mood disorder or vision problems that could be helped by these treatments.
