Brain Stimulation, Clinical Symptoms and Cognition

NCT05053451 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 5

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the impact of non-invasive brain stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), on auditory hallucinations, negative symptoms and cognition in schizophrenia. Clinical measures will be used to assess clinical symptoms and cognitive performance to test the hypothesis that a course of tDCS can reduce auditory hallucinations and negative symptoms in schizophrenia.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

In tDCS, saline-soaked electrodes are temporarily affixed to the scalp and connected to a battery-powered current generator. A weak (2 mA) constant current is then briefly applied (20 minutes) to stimulate the targeted brain area (e.g. the DLPFC, TPJ, Occipital Cortex) depending on the phase of the study.
