Brain stimulation for cocaine use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18+) and not currently seeking treatment for cocaine use.
- You have a moderate to severe cocaine use disorder, as diagnosed by a professional.
- You have used cocaine recently (confirmed by a urine test).
- You can provide contact information for two people who know how to reach you.
- You have no other current moderate-severe substance use disorders (marijuana and nicotine are okay).
- You have no history of seizures, brain surgery, stroke, or certain medical implants.
- You are not taking certain medications that might increase seizure risk (your study team will review this).
- You are not pregnant or nursing.
- You can read and speak English.
- You do not have a hairstyle that would interfere with the EEG cap used in the study.

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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method (high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation, or HD-tDCS) combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy) can help people reduce cocaine use. It explores if this combination is safe and practical.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (called tDCS) to help people reduce their use of stimulants (like crack/cocaine) or opioids. It might help lessen cravings and improve treatment outcomes.
This trial combines deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with a reward program (contingency management) to help people stop using cocaine. It may help if you are struggling with moderate to severe cocaine use and want a non-drug treatment.
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 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.
