TIS for improving thinking problems in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (TIS) can help improve cognitive problems (like memory and attention) in people with schizophrenia. You may join if you are between 18 and 50, have had schizophrenia for no more than 8 years, take 1-2 antipsychotic medicines, and have some trouble with daily activities.

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 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 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 study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve social cognition (how we understand and interact with others). It is for healthy adults who are not on psychiatric medications.
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 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.
