Fast brain stimulation for addiction and depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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 brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help people with methamphetamine use disorder. It aims to improve symptoms and support recovery.
This test uses a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help people with stimulant use disorder reduce their cravings and stay sober. You would need to be in an addiction treatment program and have been clean for at least 2 weeks to join.
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).
