Brain stimulation for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called nTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia, like lack of motivation or social withdrawal. It's a possible treatment option for people with stable schizophrenia who still struggle with these symptoms.
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.
