Faster brain stimulation for early psychosis risk
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a faster type of brain stimulation, called accelerated neuromodulation therapy, in people who have early signs that could lead to psychosis. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a new, faster form of brain stimulation called accelerated neuromodulation therapy can help reduce negative symptoms (like loss of motivation or social withdrawal) in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this treatment can improve daily functioning and quality of life.
This study tests an accelerated form of iTBS (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) for depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to help people with major depression who haven't responded adequately to at least one antidepressant drug.
This trial tests an accelerated form of TMS (a treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain) for people with severe depression who have recently been in a psychiatric hospital. It aims to see if a faster schedule of TMS can help improve symptoms quickly.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
This trial tests a faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called TMS for people with depression. The goal is to see how well it works and how tolerable it is.
This study tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people who are at high risk for psychosis. The stimulation is personalized using a brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) to target the right areas.
