Brain stimulation and exercise for thinking skills in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study combines brain stimulation with physical exercise to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. You will get both treatments and be tested on cognitive functions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You can speak and understand Chinese, because the tests are in Chinese.
- You have done less than 10 hours of exercise in the past 3 months.
- You do not have severe physical health problems, like recent heart attack, uncontrolled high blood pressure, fractures, or serious back problems that make exercise unsafe.
- You do not have metal implants or devices in your body, such as a pacemaker, aneurysm clips, or any internal metal objects, and you are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether aerobic exercise alone, or exercise combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, can improve thinking and memory in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
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 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.
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 study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with early schizophrenia. If you qualify, you would receive the study treatment while continuing stable schizophrenia 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.
