Brain stimulation with talk therapy for cocaine use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a moderate or severe cocaine use disorder (as defined by current diagnostic criteria).
- You must be interested in treatment or reducing your cocaine use.
- You must have a positive urine test for cocaine at least once during the screening visits.
- You cannot have epilepsy, a history of multiple seizures, or take medications that lower seizure threshold.
- You cannot have migraines, ringing in the ears, a head injury with concussion or loss of consciousness, or certain other conditions.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
