Comparing brain stimulation treatments for schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two types of brain stimulation (accelerated TBS vs high-frequency TMS) to see if they can improve thinking and memory problems in schizophrenia that hasn't responded to other treatments. You must be on clozapine and have treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with schizophrenia that doesn't get better with standard treatments
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have been taking the medication clozapine for at least 6 months
- You are a patient at the AIIMS Bhubaneswar psychiatry clinic
- You have not had ECT, TMS, or tDCS recently, and you don't have a pacemaker or metal in your body

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (TIS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if this treatment, combined with antipsychotic medications, can help you think more clearly and function better in daily life.
This study compares two types of mild brain stimulation—tACS and tDCS—to see if they can help reduce symptoms of schizophrenia. It is for people who have had moderate to severe symptoms for at least two years and are on stable medications.
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.
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 trial tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (TMS) to improve symptoms of schizophrenia. It aims to target brain circuits that may be out of balance.
