PET brain scan with a cocaine-use disorder medicine test
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This early-phase study uses a PET brain scan (a special imaging test) to see how the brain responds in people with cocaine use disorder. It aims to better understand brain activity and whether this scan approach could help research or future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 55 years old
- You meet DSM-5 criteria for cocaine use disorder
- You do not have other current major mental health or addiction diagnoses (like psychosis or bipolar disorder)
- In the past 6 months, you have not been using opioids, sedatives, amphetamines, or MDMA, and alcohol/cannabis use is not moderate-to-severe (no more than about twice per week
- You are not taking prescription medical or “psychiatric” medicines right now

This early-phase study uses brain imaging to understand how cocaine use disorder affects brain function. It may help researchers learn more about brain pathways involved in craving and treatment targets.
This study uses a special PET scan to look at how brain cells make energy, which may be changed by cocaine. It might help researchers find better ways to treat cocaine use disorder.
This study tests whether brain stimulation can help people with cocaine use disorder. It is a research study that aims to identify brain targets for treatment with a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
This study looks at how cravings for cocaine change over time in people who have recently stopped using. Researchers will measure brain activity to understand this process better.
This trial tests whether a combination of ketamine (a medicine that may help the brain change) and neurofeedback training (a brain-exercise technique) can help people with cocaine addiction. The goal is to see if these treatments can improve brain flexibility and reduce cravings.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation (rTMS) and talk therapy (CBT) to help people reduce cocaine use. It's for adults who want treatment and use cocaine at least once a week.
