Schizophrenia (Heidelb)
February 2022
Article Synopsis
- Patients with schizophrenia tend to smoke a lot and often struggle with traditional treatments, which highlights the need for new therapies.
- A study tested a new treatment called deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) on 20 patients to see if it could help reduce smoking and improve brain function.
- Results showed that those receiving active dTMS took longer to light their first cigarette, suggesting some success in stopping smoking, and imaging studies hinted at potential changes in brain activity and symptoms related to psychosis.
