Detailní popis
This clinical trial aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of SEEG-guided target screening combined with individualized deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment-refractory schizophrenia.
The study first employs Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes as the core tool to establish a personalized, minimally invasive neuromodulation surgical framework. After SEEG electrode implantation, researchers will collect and analyze high-spatiotemporal-resolution electrophysiological data during both resting-state and task-state conditions, as well as identify characteristic electrophysiological biomarkers that correlate with clinical symptoms.
Secondly, electrical stimulation is delivered through the SEEG contacts to functionally verify candidate targets in different brain regions. By stimulating specific targets and observing immediate symptomatic or physiological responses, we validate the effects on neural circuits and confirm their functional relevance prior to any permanent intervention. For targets that show preliminary efficacy, we further apply externalized chronic stimulation to continuously monitor symptom improvement and potential adverse effects.
After determine the optimal targets and the intervention is confirmed to be both effective and safe, we implant a permanent brain pacemaker (DBS device). During the efficacy follow-up phase, we employ a randomized crossover design, which is then followed by an open-label period. These two stages enable thorough assessment of clinical efficacy. Meanwhile, we also collect multidimensional data (clinical symptoms, cognition, and neuroimaging) to explore the circuit mechanisms of stimulation.

Aktivní komparátor: Stim ON-OFF
Participants randomized to the Stim ON-OFF arm will first undergo bilateral stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode implantation targeting brain regions associated with schizophrenia symptoms, followed by stimulation response assessments. Secondly, deep brain stimulation will be performed based on the electrophysiological recordings and stimulation assessment results. Thirdly, participants will receive active stimulation during the randomization phase for up to 12 weeks. The participants will then have their device turned off and receive sham stimulation during the crossover phase for up to 12 weeks. |
Phase 1 involves the stereotactic implantation of Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes.
Following implantation, comprehensive electrophysiological monitoring is conducted, including resting-state and task-state recordings, as well as acute electrical stimulation mapping.
This process aims to identify the specific pathological neural circuits and electrophysiological biomarkers associated with the patient's individual psychotic symptoms.
Phase 2 involves individualized deep brain stimulation (DBS).
Instead of relying solely on standardized anatomical landmarks, the DBS targets and parameters are precisely customized based on the individualized data acquired during the SEEG mapping phase.

Reduction Rate of PANSS Positive Subscale or SAPS
Časové okno: Baseline (pre-operation), 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 20 weeks and 24 weeks post-operation.
|
Positive symptoms are assessed using either the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) positive subscale (P1-P7) or the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS).
The PANSS evaluates positive, negative, and general psychopathology symptoms (total score range: 30-210).
The SAPS evaluates hallucinations, delusions, bizarre behavior, and positive formal thought disorder.
For both scales, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.
