Personalized magnetic brain stimulation for early psychosis risk
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Clinical High-Risk Syndrome for Psychosis (early signs that might lead to a psychotic disorder, but not yet a full diagnosis).
- You are right-handed (this helps the study match brain activity patterns).
- You have at least a primary school education (or the equivalent).
- You do not have any metal inside your body (like braces, implants, or certain tattoos) that could interfere with the magnetic stimulation.
- You are not claustrophobic (afraid of tight spaces), because the brain scanner is like a small tunnel.

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 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.
This research study looks at how the brain changes in young people who are at high risk for developing psychosis. It aims to find better ways to predict and prevent psychosis by using brain imaging and thinking tests.
This study tests a faster type of brain stimulation, called accelerated neuromodulation therapy, in people who have early signs that could lead to psychosis. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
This trial tests whether repeated magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatment. Participants must be taking a specific antidepressant and be right-handed.
