rTMS for negative symptoms of schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia like lack of motivation or social withdrawal. It might be an option if your negative symptoms are more prominent than positive ones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older

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 uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, to treat persistent negative symptoms (like lack of motivation or social withdrawal) in people with schizophrenia. You'll be in a stable phase and your negative symptoms must have lasted at least 6 months.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called nTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia, like lack of motivation or social withdrawal. It's a possible treatment option for people with stable schizophrenia who still struggle with these symptoms.
This trial tests combining two types of non-invasive brain stimulation (HD-tDCS and iTBS) to help with negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as lack of motivation or social withdrawal. The goal is to see if this combination can improve these symptoms that are often hard to treat with medication alone.
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 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.
