Brain stimulation for methamphetamine use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to see if it can reduce methamphetamine cravings and improve thinking. If you are in recovery or still using, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with methamphetamine use disorder (DSM-5) and have used methamphetamine at least once a week for the past year or more.
- You do not have any metal implants in your head or a history of seizures.
- You do not have severe mental illnesses (like schizophrenia) or other drug addictions (except nicotine) in the last 5 years.

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 trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called closed-loop TBS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for people with methamphetamine use disorder. It aims to improve core symptoms by targeting a specific brain area, and may help reduce cravings and improve control.
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 study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that targets the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex to help people with methamphetamine use disorder. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce cravings and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) with a mental exercise called 'episodic future thinking' can help people reduce methamphetamine use. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas linked to addiction, and episodic future thinking involves imagining positive future events to reduce cravings.
This study uses a type of brain stimulation called deep TMS to see if it can help people with methamphetamine use disorder reduce their cravings and use. You would receive daily magnetic pulses to specific brain areas over several weeks.
