Testing brain stimulation for thinking problems in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called TUS to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with schizophrenia. It focuses on a brain circuit that connects the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
- You are between 18 and 50 years old, right-handed, and of Han nationality.
- You have trouble with memory (measured by a special test).
- You have been stable on a second-generation antipsychotic medication for at least 4 weeks.
- You do not have any major medical, neurological, or substance abuse issues, and you can have an MRI and TUS safely.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (TIS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if this treatment, combined with antipsychotic medications, can help you think more clearly and function better in daily life.
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 if a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help improve cognitive functions like memory and attention in people with schizophrenia. If you are between 18 and 65, have a schizophrenia diagnosis, and are mentally stable, you may be eligible.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with early schizophrenia. If you qualify, you would receive the study treatment while continuing stable schizophrenia care.
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 pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
