NCT ID NCT03741751
First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This small pilot study looked at whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) with computer-based cognitive training is feasible and tolerable for adults with schizophrenia who have thinking difficulties. Twelve participants were randomly assigned to receive either active or sham (fake) rTMS alongside cognitive training for two weeks. The study was terminated early, and its main goal was to gather information on feasibility rather than to prove effectiveness.
