Summary

This open naturalistic study aims to evaluate the efficacy of rTMS in routine practice on auditory resistant hallucinations (AHR) of patients with schizophrenia. To this end, two stimulation methods will be offered to patients: the rTMS stimulation method and the cTBS stimulation method.We principally use the AHRS scale to evaluate the effectiveness of rTMS on RAH in patients with schizophrenia. Our main hypothesis is that rTMS used under naturalistic conditions, in addition to antipsychotics, would allow a relative improvement of resistant auditory hallucinations assessed by the AHRS scale between baseline and end of treatment in patients with schizophrenia.
