Basal stimulation for adults with schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether basal stimulation therapy, a gentle sensory treatment, can improve well-being in older adults with schizophrenia. It may help with daily functioning and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years or older.
- You have a schizophrenia diagnosis for at least 5 years, with more negative symptoms (like withdrawal or low motivation).
- You've been on the same medications for at least 3 months.
- You need significant help with daily activities.
- A legal guardian or caregiver can give consent for you to join.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 trial tests whether combining exercise with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) can improve mental, physical, and social well-being in older adults with schizophrenia. It could help if you have stable symptoms and are looking for a new way to feel better.
This trial tests a brain-stimulation approach for people with schizophrenia (or schizoaffective disorder) who don’t always recognize how their illness affects them. It may help improve symptoms and insight while you stay on stable medications during the study.
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.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical procedure that uses mild electrical pulses to specific brain areas) can help people with schizophrenia that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce severe symptoms.
