Lessons from studies of medication reduction in psychosis: giving participants accurate information about risk in psychiatric research trials
J Psychiatry Neurosci. 2024 Mar 1;49(2):E81-E86. doi: 10.1503/jpn.230137. Print 2024 Jan-Feb.ABSTRACTAll research needs ethical regulation, which is institutionalized in research ethics committees. The patient information sheet, approved by a research ethics committee, sets out what patients need to know to make an informed choice about research participation. However, guidance from research ethics committees is much less explicit about risk communication. In this commentary, the balance of risk in the patient information sheets from protocols of 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of medication reduction in psychosis wa...

Navigated and individual α-peak-frequency-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation in male patients with treatment-refractory schizophrenia
CONCLUSION: Navigated αTMS to the left DLPFC reduced total, general psychopathological, and cognitive-disorganized symptoms of schizophrenia. These results provide evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of individual α-peak-frequency-guided rTMS in treatment-refractory schizophrenia.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01941251; ClinicalTrials.gov.PMID:38428970 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230063 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Epigenetic profile of the immune system associated with symptom severity and treatment response in schizophrenia
CONCLUSION: Epigenetic modifications of the immune system are associated with symptom severity at onset and subsequent treatment response in schizophrenia.PMID:38359932 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230099 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Pharmacological adjuncts and transcranial magnetic stimulation-induced synaptic plasticity: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Pharmacologically enhanced TMS largely parallels findings from ex vivo preparations. As this area expands and novel targets are tested, adequately powered samples in healthy and clinical populations will inform the mechanisms of TMS-induced plasticity in health and disease.PMID:38359933 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230090 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)
