This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS can help reduce cocaine use. You would receive several sessions of mild electrical current applied to your scalp, which may help control cravings and improve your ability to stay abstinent.
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 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 trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF rTMS) can help reduce cocaine cravings and change brain chemistry. It may be a good option if you have cocaine use disorder and want to explore a new treatment that doesn't involve medication.
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 uses a gentle magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who are already in treatment for alcohol or opioid addiction. The goal is to see if adding rTMS can reduce cravings and improve recovery.
