Study of Experience of High-frequency Repetitive Transcranial
High-frequency rTMS Therapy Experience
Objective: To understand the personal experience of schizophrenia patients following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and its connection with changes in mental symptoms, thereby enhancing the overall understanding of TMS.
Method: The investigators selected eligible schizophrenia patients for fixed-parameter rTMS treatment. A self-experience checklist post-TMS treatment and positive and negative symptom scales (PANSS) were applied to evaluate the treatment.

Self-experience checklist post- transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment
Time Frame: Half an hour

positive and negative symptom scales (PANSS)
Time Frame: Half an hour
|
It included 30 entries, among which seven were positive, seven were negative, and the remaining 16 entries were general psychopathology scales for assessing the overall severity of schizophrenia using a 7-level score.

The repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status
Time Frame: Half an hour
|
The RBANS scale included 12 test items that were summarized into five sets of neuromental states (five factors), i.e., immediate memory (vocabulary learning and story review), visuospatial structure (graphic depiction and line positioning), language (picture-naming and semantic fluency), attention (digital breadth and symbolic numbers), and delayed memory (vocabulary recall, vocabulary ecognition, story recall, and graphic recall).

Half an hour
|
The Insight and Treatment Attitudes Questionnaire (ITAQ)
Time Frame: Half an hour
|
it includes the subject's understanding of the disease and their attitude towards treatment.
A higher score indicated that a patient had better self-knowledge.
