Stimulants Use Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Feasibility Study on the Use of an Intensive Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Protocol in the Treatment of Cocaine and Other Stimulants Use Disorder
The purpose of the study is to explore the Feasibility, Tolerability and Safety of the H7-Coil deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Subjects with Stimulants Use Disorder (SUD).
Stimulants Use Disorder (SUD) is a major public health issue, with potentially severe psychosocial and medical consequences. Even though psychosocial therapies exist, an important proportion of patients do not respond to these approaches, and no approved biological approaches are currently available. deep TMS (dTMS) has been shown effective for Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Nicotine Use Disorder and could also prove available for SUD. Several pilot studies have shown preliminary effectiveness in SUD, but are limited by the length of their protocol, which could result in limited real-world effectiveness secondary to high dropout rates. Given that aTMS protocols have been applied successfully in MDD, we propose to implement this approach for SUD, in order to reduce treatment length and therefore increase retention rates. We will also gather preliminary data on various biomarkers that could help predict response and better understand biological mechanisms behind SUD. ;
