Cocaine Use Disorder study: TMS to dmPFC vs TMS to dlPFC
Official title Identifying Electrophysiological Targets for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Cocaine Use Disorder
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05986578
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if a special type of magnetic brain stimulation (iTBS) to two parts of the frontal lobe changes brain activity related to reward and attention in people with cocaine use disorder.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have a cocaine use disorder.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either the real magnetic stimulation or a sham (placebo) treatment, and their brain activity will be measured before and after the sessions.
