Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (RTMS) on Resting State Brain Activity in Schizophrenia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation 1 Hz, Active Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation 10 Hz, and 3 other interventions for Schizophrenia. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study compares the efficacy of low and high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a means of treating subjects with schizophrenia. Magnetic pulses delivered over the scalp cause brain activity. This activity has been shown to help decrease the intensity and frequency of auditory hallucinations (AH) in schizophrenia. The investigators will compare whether low or high frequencies work best. The investigators will also examine what changes occur in the brain that are related to improvement.
