TMS for resistant voices in schizophrenia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 uses a non-invasive brain stimulation method (TMS) along with brain scans (MRI) to better understand why hallucinations happen in schizophrenia. It may help researchers learn more about brain processes involved, which could guide future treatments.
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.
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can help reduce hallucinations in people with schizophrenia. It is for those who still have frequent hallucinations despite trying standard medications.
