This study compares two types of mild brain stimulation—tACS and tDCS—to see if they can help reduce symptoms of schizophrenia. It is for people who have had moderate to severe symptoms for at least two years and are on stable medications.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS to see if it can change brain connections that may be linked to symptoms. It might help people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are stable on their current medications.
This study tests a brain stimulation treatment (neuromodulation) to improve brain connectivity in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this approach can help with symptoms and cognitive function.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation, or hi-tACS) to see if it can help with memory, attention, and other thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. You may join if you are clinically stable and on a steady dose of antipsychotic medication.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (hi-tACS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. If you are a right-handed adult with stable schizophrenia, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with schizophrenia. It involves 10 daily sessions and may help with daily functioning.
