Brain stimulation to improve sensory experience in schizophrenia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS) can help reduce negative symptoms and improve thinking in people with long-term schizophrenia. It is for patients who have been hospitalized for over six months and are on stable medication.
This study combines a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) with a type of talk therapy for psychosis (CBTp), along with the medications you already take. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce symptoms like hallucinations or unusual beliefs.
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 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.
