Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve the brain's wiring and connectivity in people with schizophrenia. Participants receive multiple sessions of rTMS using a special coil designed to reach deeper brain areas. The researchers measure changes in brain structure and communication using MRI and EEG scans. The goal is to see if this approach can enhance brain health and function in schizophrenia.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using an H-coil
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug treatment that improves brain communication and function in schizophrenia.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on brain imaging changes, not yet on symptoms. The treatment may not produce meaningful clinical benefits, and rTMS can cause discomfort or, rarely, seizures.
