Brain stimulation for self-other boundaries in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation method called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to see if it can help people with schizophrenia better tell the difference between themselves and others, which may reduce symptoms like hallucinations and delusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests whether a mild form of brain stimulation called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve symptoms of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. tDCS uses small electrodes on the scalp to gently stimulate brain areas involved in vision and thinking.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called tACS) to see if it can improve how people with schizophrenia experience their senses. It involves brain imaging (MRI) and may help develop new treatment options.
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 study combines a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) with a type of talk therapy for psychosis (CBTp), along with the medications you already take. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce symptoms like hallucinations or unusual beliefs.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS) can help reduce negative symptoms and improve thinking in people with long-term schizophrenia. It is for patients who have been hospitalized for over six months and are on stable medication.
