| Abstract |
Our aim was to assess the efficacy and safety of theta-rhythm transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (4.5 Hz-tACS) in patients with clozapine-resistant symptoms of schizophrenia. In an open case series, 3 patients received 20 sessions of 4.5 Hz-tACS (20 min, 2 mA) applied over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The patients exhibited a decrease of negative symptoms (-10 %), general symptoms (-18 %) and an improvement of insight into the illness (-25 %). 4.5 Hz-tACS might be a suitable alternative treatment for clozapine-resistant symptoms of schizophrenia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 January 2018.
All research outputs
#13,072,573
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neural Transmission
#1,126
of 1,815 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#162,287
of 336,096 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neural Transmission
#21
of 47 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,815 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,096 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 47 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
