Exercise and brain stimulation for thinking in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether aerobic exercise alone, or exercise combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, can improve thinking and memory in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with schizophrenia or a related disorder (like schizoaffective disorder).
- Your schizophrenia is considered treatment-resistant, meaning at least two antipsychotic medications have not worked well enough.
- Your symptoms have been stable for at least 4 weeks prior to joining.
- You are able to give informed consent.
- You do not have a neurological disorder (like epilepsy or stroke), implanted electronic devices, or skin issues on your scalp.

This study combines brain stimulation with physical exercise to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. You will get both treatments and be tested on cognitive functions.
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 a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with early schizophrenia. If you qualify, you would receive the study treatment while continuing stable schizophrenia care.
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 a type of brain stimulation (high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation, or hi-tACS) to see if it can help with memory, attention, and other thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. You may join if you are clinically stable and on a steady dose of antipsychotic medication.
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.
