The Effects of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Treatment Adherence in Schizophrenia (NCT04033679)
The Effects of Adjunctive Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Treatment Adherence in Schizophrenia
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study seeks to explore the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive method of brain stimulation, as an adjunctive treatment to improve antipsychotic medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). The investigators hypothesize that 20 sessions of tDCS will improve medication nonadherence in patients with SCZ.
