Clinical Trial Summary

• The efficacy of neuro-navigated rTMS for patients with schizophrenia suffering from drug-resistant multisensory hallucinations will be tested by the implementation of a double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT)

• This study will use a combination of different MRI modalities (fMRI and DTI) to define with precision rTMS brain-targets in the case of multisensory hallucinations

• The investigators anticipate that multimodal MRI-guided rTMS will allow a significant improvement in the efficacy of neuromodulation treatment of refractory hallucinations

Primary	Severity and Frequency of Hallucinations	Visual Analogue Scale (Severity)/ Visual Analogue Scale (Frequency rate)	Assessed at baseline (t0) and longitudinally after the 10 rTMS sessions during the following month (D+15, M+1, M+3, M+6, M+12)
Secondary	Clinical State	Clinical Global Improvement [CGI]/ Positive & Negative Symptoms Scale [PANSS]/ Global Assessment of Functioning [GAF].; For the auditory modality: Add the Auditory Hallucinations rating Scale [AHRS] frequency scale and total score/ Add the computerized Binary Scale of Auditory Speech Hallucinations [cbSASH]	Assessed at baseline (t0) and longitudinally after the 10 rTMS sessions during the following month (D+15, M+1, M+3, M+6, M+12)
Secondary	MRI changes	structural MRI/ functional MRI/ Diffusion Tensor Imaging/ MR-spectroscopy	Assessed at baseline (t0) and 1 month after the rTMS sessions (M+1)
