TMS for negative symptoms in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce negative symptoms in people with schizophrenia. These symptoms include things like lack of motivation, limited speech, and not expressing emotions.

This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help with depression in people who have schizophrenia. You would receive TMS sessions targeting areas of the brain linked to mood, and the goal is to see if this improves depression symptoms.
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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to improve brain connectivity in people with schizophrenia. It may help with symptoms by using magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas.
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 if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia like lack of motivation or social withdrawal. It might be an option if your negative symptoms are more prominent than positive ones.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS (which uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate brain areas) can help reduce 'negative symptoms' of schizophrenia, such as feeling flat, having low motivation, or withdrawing from others. You would receive the treatment at the study center and continue your usual medications.
