Magnetic seizure therapy for schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder for at least 2 years.
- You have tried at least two different antipsychotic medicines without enough improvement.
- You are currently stable on an antipsychotic and willing to stay on it during the study.
- You are not pregnant and will use birth control if you could become pregnant.
- You have no metal in your head or serious medical conditions that would make the treatment unsafe.

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 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 trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation, called temporal interference stimulation, to see if it can help reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia who have not improved with at least two different antipsychotic medications. It is an exploratory study, meaning it is early research to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
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 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.
