Summary

This study tested a special type of brain stimulation called theta-burst TMS in 76 adults with schizophrenia. The goal was to see if it could safely reduce negative symptoms (like lack of motivation) and improve thinking skills such as memory and emotion recognition. Participants received either real or fake stimulation over several sessions, and researchers measured changes using standard psychiatric scales and cognitive tests.
