Magnetic brain stimulation for substance use
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a gentle magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who are already in treatment for alcohol or opioid addiction. The goal is to see if adding rTMS can reduce cravings and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a new type of brain stimulation, guided by MRI and a robot, can help reduce heavy drinking in people with alcohol use disorder. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to improve brain function related to cravings.
This study uses a brain stimulation technique called TMS combined with MRI scans to treat alcohol use disorder. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can help reduce drinking.
This study tests if a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive TMS (rTMS) can improve thinking skills like decision-making and focus in people recovering from alcohol use disorder. You must have been alcohol-free for 8 weeks to 5 years.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can reduce opioid cravings and help people who are already taking buprenorphine stay in recovery. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain involved in addiction.
This study tests whether a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with opioid use disorder. It involves a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate certain parts of the brain.
This trial tests if brain stimulation can help people starting buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. It aims to improve treatment outcomes and support recovery.
