Summary
This prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded study investigates the efficacy and safety of adding intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) to a standard treatment of risperidone and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for patients with first-episode schizophrenia. The study aims to compare clinical symptom improvement, cognitive function changes, and levels of serum biomarkers (GDNF, CK-MB, DHEA-S) between a group receiving the combined therapy (iTBS+risperidone+CBT) and a control group receiving standard therapy (risperidone+CBT) over a 3-month period.
