This study investigates the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. The purpose of this study is to see if rTMS can improve symptoms and communication between brain areas. rTMS is a non-invasive method that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain.
Participants will undergo rTMS treatment sessions. The study will monitor changes in symptoms and brain activity. rTMS involves placing a magnetic coil on the scalp to deliver magnetic pulses. This technique is painless and does not require surgery.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 18 to 45 years with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder may participate. Participants should be within 10 years of illness onset and able to provide informed consent. They must also be clinically stable and willing to follow the study schedule.
- Study details: Participants will receive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) sessions. This involves placing a magnetic coil on the scalp to deliver magnetic pulses.
