Brain stimulation for memory in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You have been diagnosed with schizophrenia (confirmed by a standard interview)
- You have memory problems (a score below 40 on a specific memory test)
- You take 1 or 2 antipsychotic medications at a stable dose for at least 1 week
- You have trouble with everyday activities like work or self-care

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 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 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 whether electrical stimulation of the brain can change brain signals and support working memory (your ability to hold and use information briefly). It’s mainly for people who don’t have certain brain/mental health conditions and who are able to safely receive this type of stimulation.
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 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.
