Therapeutic Efficacy of Cerebellar Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Patients With Schizophrenia

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center·interventional·Posted Mar 13, 2012·Updated Apr 12, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Schizophrenia. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The aim of this study is to look at the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a therapeutic intervention for patients with schizophrenia. The primary outcome is improvement in negative symptoms related to schizophrenia. The investigators are focusing on negative symptoms given their greater resistance to pharmacological and other established therapies. If the investigators trial were to show beneficial effects, its clinical significance would be great.

Interventions

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulationdevice

intermittent Theta Burst (iTBS) pattern (20 trains of 10 bursts given with 8s intervals) will be applied at 80% of active motor threshold. Each participant will receive 600 pulses per session. Sham participants will undergo the same procedures as those in the active rTMS group.
