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 skills in people with schizophrenia. You will receive a gentle form of brain stimulation while doing exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You can speak and understand Chinese
- You have not done much physical exercise in the past 3 months (less than 10 hours total)
- You do not have serious physical health problems, epilepsy, heart devices, or metal implants

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding a mild brain stimulation therapy (called tDCS) to a supervised exercise program can help improve thinking and memory in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The goal is to see if combining these activities works better than exercise alone.
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 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 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 pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
