Brain stimulation for methamphetamine use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to help reduce methamphetamine use and its effects. It uses a closed loop, meaning the stimulation adjusts based on your brain activity, and may help with core symptoms of addiction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and have completed at least junior high school (9+ years of education).
- You must have a mild or severe amphetamine (meth) use disorder, using at least once a week for a year or more.
- You must not currently be taking any medication for your substance use.
- You must not have other serious mental health conditions (like bipolar or major depression) or serious medical illnesses.
- You must not have any reason that makes brain stimulation unsafe (like metal in the head or a seizure history).

This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (called closed-loop TBS) to help people who have problems with methamphetamine or other amphetamines. The aim is to reduce cravings and improve overall well-being. Participants will receive the brain stimulation while continuing their usual care.
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 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.
This study tests a faster brain stimulation technique (TMS) to help people reduce methamphetamine use. It may be a good option if you have moderate to severe methamphetamine use disorder and are looking for new treatment approaches.
This study tests a non-invasive brain treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to help pregnant women reduce methamphetamine use. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in addiction, and the goal is to see if it can help women stay in recovery while protecting both mother and baby.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people with methamphetamine addiction reduce their drug use. It aims to improve brain function related to addiction and support recovery.
