Transcranial magnetic stimulation for schizophrenia - a Cochrane review

What is it about?

This is the original published protocol for the Cochrane review of randomised controlled studies on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for schizophrenia. We report the findings of this Cochrane review in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in August 2015, to be accessed here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/enhanced/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006081.pub2

Why is it important?

People with schizophrenia often have symptoms which fail to respond to anti-psychotic medication. An alternative treatment, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is emerging as a potential new therapy. However at the time this Cochrane protocol was published, there was little consensus that TMS was helpful or not with treating the symptoms of schizophrenia, and we set out to assess the literature that had been published.
