First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with schizophrenia whose symptoms don't improve with medication. The device targets a brain area linked to hallucinations and delusions. Fifteen adults with treatment-resistant schizophrenia will receive DBS and be monitored for symptom changes and side effects. The goal is to control persistent symptoms, not cure the disorder.
