China60 participantsStarted 2023-07-01

Plain-language summary

rTMS and MEG for auditory hallucinations via self controlled clinical trials. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can increase or decrease cortical excitability in patients with psychosis (such as schizophrenia). Here, we conducted an open clinical trial on 60 schizophrenics with auditory hallucinations. We searched for targets through magnetoencephalography and then intervened to prove that rTMS guided by magnetoencephalography is effective for auditory hallucinations.
