Pharmacological and Mechanistic Interventions for Cognitive Impairment Associated With Schizophrenia: A Review of Registered Clinical Trials

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Volume 153, Issue 5, Page 402-431, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Schizophrenia is characterized by positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Current pharmacological treatments often fail to address cognitive deficits. In this review of clinical trials, we aim to identify studies that explore neurobiological (non‐psychological) strategies to address Cognitive Impairment Associated with ...

Comparison of the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation on the urgency and frequency of women with overactive bladder syndrome: study protocol of a randomized clinical trial

Trials
Background Overactive bladder syndrome is common, with a prevalence of 12–17% among adults. Posterior tibial nerve stimulation is the primary nonpharmacological and conservative treatment for overactive bladder syndrome. While several human brain imaging

Predicting Response to Pro‐Cognitive Interventions in Mood Disorders: A Systematic Review by the International Society for Bipolar Disorders Targeting Cognition Task Force

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Volume 153, Issue 5, Page 374-401, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) are often associated with persistent cognitive deficits that impair psychosocial functioning. While pro‐cognitive interventions show promise, trial findings are inconsistent, potentially due to baseline factors influencing treatment response.

rTMS Suppresses Tobacco Craving via Enhanced Prefronto‐Striato‐Thalamic Connectivity

Addiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of rTMS on tobacco use disorder (TUD). The findings demonstrated that participants with TUD exhibited reduced cigarette cravings following treatment, accompanied by a reorganization of the prefrontal–striatal pathway and enhanced top‐down cognitive control.

Anti‐inflammatory effects of physical stimuli: The central role of networks in shaping the future of pharmacological research

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2177-2196, May 2026.
Addressing complexity in the study of life sciences through Systems Biology and Systems Medicine has been transformative, making Systems Pharmacology the next logical step. In this review, we focus on physical stimuli, whose potential in pharmacology has been neglected, despite demonstrated therapeutic properties.

A Verification Report of Three Meta‐Analyses in Transcranial Direct‐Current Stimulation—Motor Learning Research

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 9, May 2026.
Out of the 47 primary effect sizes across the three meta‐analyses verified, 16 could be successfully reproduced or approximated. Thirteen effect sizes, not depicted here, could not be reproduced due to missing information. ABSTRACT With transcranial direct‐current stimulation's (tDCS) popularity both in motor learning research and as a commercial ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation of the motor cortex in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain. A randomised, double-blind exploratory study [PDF]

, 2011
This exploratory study aimed to test the proof of principle that active anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the motor cortex reduces pain significantly more than sham stimulation in a group of participants with chronic non ...
