Neurocognitive effects of 3 mA prefrontal electrical stimulation in schizophrenia: A randomized sham-controlled tDCS-fMRI study protocol
The results of this study are helpful in optimizing tDCS protocols in SCZ and inform us of neurocognitive mechanisms underlying 3 mA stimulation. This study will additionally provide initial safety and efficacy data on a 3 mA tDCS protocol to support larger clinical trials. Positive results could lead to rapid and broader testing of a promising tool for debilitating symptoms that affect the majority of patients with SCZ. The results will be made available through publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at national and international conferences.
