Brain stimulation to reduce cannabis craving in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce cravings for cannabis in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes for those who use cannabis and have a psychotic disorder.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce cannabis cravings in people who have both schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder. If the treatment works, it might help you feel less compelled to use cannabis.
This trial tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method (tDCS) can help people with schizophrenia who also have moderate-to-severe cannabis use disorder reduce or quit cannabis. It also involves MRI scanning to help study brain changes.
This trial tests whether a painless brain stimulation treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help teens and young adults reduce their cannabis use. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to target parts of the brain involved in cravings and self-control.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help improve social thinking and understanding in people with psychosis. Researchers want to see if this treatment can boost how you read social cues and connect with others.
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 study looks at whether a treatment that targets brain “rhythms” can improve working memory in people who are in the early stage of schizophrenia. It may help the brain process information more effectively, which can support daily thinking and functioning.
