Electrical Brain Stimulation for Cognitive Impairment in Schizophrenia: a tDCS-fMRI Study

NCT05200962 · Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2023-11-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action of transcranial electrical brain stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. To do so the effect of a 3-mA stimulation protocol on neurocognitive functions will be investigated using behavioral performance and fMRI.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation

In tDCS, direct electrical currents are generated by an electrical stimulator and are noninvasively delivered to the scalp through a pair of saline-soaked sponge electrodes (7×5 cm).
