Sponsor's own description
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) as an add-on treatment for auditory hallucinations in refractory schizophrenia. Meanwhile, we aim to evaluate the effect of tACS on cognitive function of schizophrenia patients. we hypothesize tACS would improve refractory auditory hallucination symptoms in schizophrenia by regulating the gamma frequency band of temporal lobe。
