Official title
Cerebellar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (cTMS) in Psychotic Disorders: Effect on Time Perception, Executive Function, and Mood and Psychotic Symptoms
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this study is to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate the impact of modulating cerebellar activity on time perception, executive function, and mood and psychotic symptoms in psychosis patients (i.e., schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder with psychotic features). The investigators hypothesize that abnormally reduced activity in the cerebellum contributes to the abnormalities in patients, that cerebellum-mediated disruptions in time perception may partially underlie executive dysfunction and symptoms, and that cerebellar stimulation will normalize disease-relevant outcome measures.
