Objective: To understand the personal experience of schizophrenia patients following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and its connection with changes in mental symptoms, thereby enhancing the overall understanding of TMS. Method: The investigators selected eligible schizophrenia patients for fixed-parameter rTMS treatment. A self-experience checklist post-TMS treatment and positive and negative symptom scales (PANSS) were applied to evaluate the treatment.
