Aims: Schizophrenia, a debilitating mental disorder, is characterized by persistent negative symptoms such as avolition and anhedonia. Currently, there are no effective treatments available for these symptoms. Thus, our study aims to assess the efficacy of online high‐definition transcranial direct current stimulation (online HD‐tDCS) in addressing the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, utilizing a double‐blind, randomized, sham‐controlled trial design. Methods: Fifty‐nine patients with schizophrenia were randomized to receive either active HD‐tDCS or sham stimulation, targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Outcomes were measured by changes in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale Factor Score for Negative Symptom (PANSS‐FSNS). Exact low‐resolution electromagnetic tomography was used to assess the functional connectivity. Results: All 59 participants, including 50.84% females with an average age of 43.36 years, completed the trial. In the intention‐to‐treat analysis, patients receiving active HD‐tDCS showed greater improvement in PANSS‐FSNS scores compared to those receiving the sham procedure. The differences were 2.34 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28–3.40), 4.28 (95% CI, 2.93–5.62), and 4.91 (95% CI, 3.29–6.52) after the intervention, as well as at 1‐week and 1‐month follow‐ups, respectively. A tingling sensation on the scalp was more common in the active group (63.3%) compared to the sham group (10.3%). Additionally, HD‐tDCS was associated with a decrease in delta‐band connectivity within the default mode network. Conclusions: High‐definition transcranial direct current stimulation was effective and safe in ameliorating negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia when combined with online functional targeting.
