Summary
This study tested a brain pacemaker (deep brain stimulation) in 15 people with severe schizophrenia that did not improve with standard treatments. The goal was to reduce persistent hallucinations and delusions by targeting a specific brain area. The study was stopped early, but it aimed to see if this approach could help control symptoms when other options have failed.
