Brain wave study for crack cocaine users in Palermo
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain activity in people who use crack cocaine to better understand how it affects the brain. It involves an EEG (a painless test that records brain waves) and a blood sample.

This study looks at how your body and mind might get more sensitive to crack-cocaine over time (behavioral sensitization) and what you expect from using it. Your participation helps us better understand addiction patterns.
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.
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 early-phase study uses a PET brain scan (a special imaging test) to see how the brain responds in people with cocaine use disorder. It aims to better understand brain activity and whether this scan approach could help research or future treatments.
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.
