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).

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 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 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 study tests a brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help people with methamphetamine use disorder. It aims to improve symptoms and support recovery.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help people with amphetamine use disorder reduce their cravings or use. It is for adults who are otherwise healthy and able to attend regular visits.
