Brain stimulation for methamphetamine cravings
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce cravings for methamphetamine in people who have stopped using it for at least 4 weeks. If you are trying to stay off methamphetamine and struggling with cravings, this treatment might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have used methamphetamine at least 0.5 grams per day, 5 or more days a week, for at least 12 months.
- You are diagnosed with methamphetamine use disorder.
- You have been detoxified (off methamphetamine) for at least 4 weeks and want to stop using.
- You do not have any neurological (brain) disorders, epilepsy, or history of seizures.
- You do not have a major psychiatric condition (aside from methamphetamine use disorder) and your depression score is within a normal range.
- You do not have heart problems, high blood pressure, or metal in your head or chest (dental fillings or braces are okay).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a type of brain stimulation called deep TMS to see if it can help people with methamphetamine use disorder reduce their cravings and use. You would receive daily magnetic pulses to specific brain areas over several weeks.
This study tests a quick, non-invasive brain stimulation method (rTMS) to help people who use stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine and also feel depressed. The goal is to see if it can reduce cravings and improve mood.
This trial tests a new brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help reduce methamphetamine use and its effects. It uses a closed loop, meaning the stimulation adjusts based on your brain activity, and may help with core symptoms of addiction.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (called closed-loop TBS) to help people who have problems with methamphetamine or other amphetamines. The aim is to reduce cravings and improve overall well-being. Participants will receive the brain stimulation while continuing their usual care.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with amphetamine use disorder. It uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas linked to addiction, potentially reducing cravings and improving recovery.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people with methamphetamine addiction reduce their drug use. It aims to improve brain function related to addiction and support recovery.
