tDCS for Cocaine Use Disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS can help reduce cocaine use. You would receive several sessions of mild electrical current applied to your scalp, which may help control cravings and improve your ability to stay abstinent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of stimulant use disorder, with cocaine or crack as your main drug of choice.

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 looks at how cravings for cocaine change over time in people who have recently stopped using. Researchers will measure brain activity to understand this process better.
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 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 study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people who want to cut down or stop using cannabis. You'll wear a headband-like device during sessions at NYU, and the study team will check in with you over time.
This trial combines deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with a reward program (contingency management) to help people stop using cocaine. It may help if you are struggling with moderate to severe cocaine use and want a non-drug treatment.
