Brain stimulation for drug addiction
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
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 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 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 combines a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS with thinking exercises to see if it helps people with opioid use disorder who are already on medication. It aims to 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 study uses a type of brain stimulation called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if it can help people who have recently started medication for opioid dependence (buprenorphine or methadone) stay on track and avoid relapse. The treatment is non-invasive and involves a mild electrical current applied to the scalp.
