Brain Stimulation to Improve Sensory Experience in Schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to help improve how people with schizophrenia experience their senses. Researchers will use brain imaging and the stimulation to understand and potentially enhance sensory perception.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between 18 and 65 years old

- Be able to understand the study and consent to participate
- Not have any implanted devices like pacemakers, neurological stimulators, or metal implants in your head
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding

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 trial tests a newer form of brain stimulation called multi-target TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help reduce negative symptoms of schizophrenia—like reduced emotion, motivation, and speech—in people whose symptoms aren't fully controlled by medication alone.
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 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 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 if combining a gentle brain stimulation technique (tACS) with talk therapy (CBT for psychosis) can help reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia. You would keep taking your usual medications throughout the study.
