Brain stimulation for thinking and memory in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) to see if it can help improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. It is a personalized treatment that is given over several sessions.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial electrical stimulation (TIS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if this treatment, combined with antipsychotic medications, can help you think more clearly and function better in daily life.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called intermittent theta-burst stimulation) to see if it helps with symptoms like lack of motivation or trouble thinking clearly in people with schizophrenia. You will also have an MRI scan to see how the brain changes.
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 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 trial uses brain stimulation to target memory areas in people with schizophrenia or related conditions. It aims to see if this can help improve 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.
