Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) seems to produce at least a moderate but temporary improvement in auditory hallucinations. TMS is a non-invasive procedure that involves using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain.
1. Affective flattening refers to a reduction in the expression of emotions, which may not be directly impacted by TMS.
2. Visual hallucinations are typically associated with disturbances in visual perception and are not typically the primary target of TMS treatment.
3. Disorganized speech is often a symptom of conditions like schizophrenia and may not show significant improvement with TMS.
Therefore, out of the options provided, auditory hallucinations are more likely to show improvement with TMS. TMS can help modulate brain activity and has been studied as a potential treatment for conditions like schizophrenia where auditory hallucinations are a prominent symptom.
