Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates an accelerated schedule of theta-burst stimulation using a transcranial magnetic stimulation device for improvement of depressive symptoms and drinking behavior in individuals with alcohol dependence. In this open label study, all participants will receive accelerated theta-burst stimulation.


Clinical Trial Description

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive procedure and an established technology. Research utilizing rTMS in patients with alcohol use disorder has shown some promising results. The limitations of this approach include the duration of the treatment (approximately 40 minutes per treatment session). Recently, researchers have aggressively pursued modifying the treatment parameters, such as using accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (aiTBS), to reduce treatment times with possible enhanced efficacy with some preliminary success. This study intends to further modify the parameters to create a more rapid form of the treatment and look at the change in neuroimaging biomarkers. ;
