Brain stimulation study for schizophrenia using tDCS
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mild form of brain stimulation called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve symptoms of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. tDCS uses small electrodes on the scalp to gently stimulate brain areas involved in vision and thinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called tACS) to see if it can improve how people with schizophrenia experience their senses. It involves brain imaging (MRI) and may help develop new treatment options.
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 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 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.
This study tests if a special type of brain stimulation (called HD-tDCS) can reduce hallucinations in people with schizophrenia who haven't gotten enough relief from medication. It uses a mild electrical current to target brain areas involved in hallucinations.
