Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if synchronized transcranial magnetic stimulation is safe and tolerable in individuals with cocaine, opioid, or alcohol use disorders.


Description:

All non-life-saving human research studies suspended by sponsor in response to COVID19 social distancing policies The goal of this proposal is to evaluate preliminary participant response to a pilot, controlled, feasibility study to evaluate changes in craving, substance use, and quality of life after 6 weeks of a low-risk non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called Synchronized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (sTMS), compared to sham, in Veterans with a substance use disorder (SUD). An important focus of this application will be evaluating the acceptability, tolerability, and safety of sTMS in this population. To the investigators knowledge, sTMS has never been used for SUDs, and holds considerable promise as a future treatment option for these prevalent disorders. However initial work in the acceptability, tolerability, and safety of this approach must be conducted first. This project is the first step towards the investigators long-term goal, which is to combine non-invasive brain stimulation with individualized psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy to reduce SUD problems and improve quality of life for Veterans.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q-SF) Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire
The Q-LES-Q-SF evaluates general activities that are assessed in the longer form of the Q- LES-Q. Each item uses a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). A total score is derived from 14 items with a maximum score of 70 and with higher scores indicating greater life satisfaction and enjoyment.
6 weeks
Primary substance specific craving self reported reactivity to associated cues with 8 items ranked 1-7--higher scores indicating greater craving/urges 6 weeks
Primary Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS) The SOFAS is a global rating of current functioning ranging from 0 to 100, with lower scores representing lower functioning. 6 weeks
