Brain stimulation study for cocaine addiction
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
