Brain Stimulation to Help Thinking in Schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–50 years old
- Diagnosed with schizophrenia (confirmed by a clinical interview) for 8 years or less
- Currently taking 1–2 antipsychotic medications at a stable dose for at least 1 week
- Have difficulty with thinking, memory, or attention that affects daily activities
- Not taking mood stabilizers, antidepressants, or high-dose anti-anxiety medications
- No history of seizures, brain tumors, brain surgery, or severe head injury

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 a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference to see if it can help with negative symptoms (like lack of motivation or emotion) and cognitive symptoms (like trouble with memory or focus) in schizophrenia. It uses a special head device to target a specific brain area.
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 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 new type of brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) to see if it can help improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. It is a personalized treatment that is given over several sessions.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation approach can improve thinking (cognition) in people with schizophrenia and how it changes brain electrical signals and a brain chemical called GABA. It may help researchers understand new ways to support thinking and symptoms.
