Clinical Trial Summary

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are prevalent among patients with psychiatric disorders. Not only being highly stressful and functionally impairing, AVH often persist despite treatment. Recent attempts to treat AVH with add-on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) when targeting the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), a language node in the brain, has gained limited success. The aim of this investigation is to reduce AVH with rTMS using continous theta-burst stimulation over a novel target, the supplementary motor area (SMA), in participants with frequent AVH, while also assessing potential neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the symptom.
