Study Summary

Investigating the effect of non-invasive transcranial current stimulation on auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia. Normal neuronal activity is perturbed in schizophrenia, so selective targeting of this abnormal activity could serve as a treatment for schizophrenia and alleviate symptoms caused by abnormal neuronal activity, such as auditory hallucinations.

Primary Outcome

Examining AHRS total score after 5 days of stimulation compared to baseline assessment total.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Sham stimulation
  • DEVICE tDCS
