Exercise with brain stimulation for thinking skills in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a mild brain stimulation therapy (called tDCS) to a supervised exercise program can help improve thinking and memory in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The goal is to see if combining these activities works better than exercise alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis
- You have tried at least two antipsychotic medications without enough symptom improvement
- You have been clinically stable for at least 4 weeks
- You are willing and able to give informed consent
- You do not have certain medical conditions like epilepsy, stroke, or implanted electronic devices

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study combines brain stimulation with physical exercise to see if it can improve thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. You will receive a gentle form of brain stimulation while doing exercise.
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 if a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the head (called tDCS) can improve thinking and memory problems in people with recent schizophrenia. It might help you think more clearly and better manage daily tasks.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation approach can improve thinking (cognition) in people with schizophrenia and how it changes brain electrical signals and a brain chemical called GABA. It may help researchers understand new ways to support thinking and symptoms.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with schizophrenia. It involves 10 daily sessions and may help with daily functioning.
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.
