Transcranial magnetic stimulation for schizophrenia.

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To estimate the effects of TMS alone compared with sham TMS or with 'standard management' and any other comparison interventions in reducing psychotic symptoms associated with schizophrenia.
