Sponsor: Northwell Health

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if iTBS applied to the DMPFC improves social cognitive performance compared to sham stimulation in people diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, or psychotic disorder not otherwise specified. The main objectives of this trial are: * Compare changes in social cognitive performance between the active vs. sham treatment groups * Compare changes in social cognitive network functional connectivity between the active vs. sham treatment groups Each participant will receive iTBS (active or sham) five days per week for four consecutive weeks. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans, clinical assessments, and cognitive tests will be performed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 6 months after the completion of treatment.

Interventions

DEVICE

iTBS (Active)

The present study is a double-blind, randomized clinical trial that will examine if iTBS applied to DMPFC improves social cognitive performance compared to sham stimulation DMPFC-iTBS will be administered using the MagPro R30 stimulator equipped with a Cool-B70 coil and Qooler fluid-cooling device (MagVenture, Farum, Denmark), positioned under MRI guidance using the Visor 2.0 system (Advanced Neuro Technologies Enschede, Netherlands).

DEVICE

iTBS (Sham)

DMPFC-iTBS will be administered using the MagPro R30 stimulator equipped with a Cool-B70 coil and Qooler fluid-cooling device (MagVenture, Farum, Denmark), positioned under MRI guidance using the Visor 2.0 system (Advanced Neuro Technologies Enschede, Netherlands).
