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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old

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 trial studies whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tDCS) can reduce cannabis cravings in people with schizophrenia who use cannabis often. It may help by lowering craving and improving control over cannabis use, but you must meet specific safety and medication-use requirements.
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 study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help reduce cannabis use in people ages 15–21. TMS is already used to treat depression and may help reduce cravings and urges to use cannabis.
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 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.
