Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine feasibility of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for individuals with moderate to severe cocaine or methamphetamine use disorder (CUD/MUD). Potential participants will be age 18-65, and interested in cutting down or stopping use. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups; groups will receive rTMS or sham rTMS (placebo) over the course of an 8-week treatment period, and complete follow-up assessments at the end of treatment, 12, and 16 weeks post-randomization.


Clinical Trial Description

The study will be a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial comparing rTMS vs. placebo delivered over an 8-week treatment period. After assessment and inclusion into the study, participants will be randomized to receive up to 30 sessions of either rTMS or placebo treatments. The target minimum number of rTMS/placebo treatments is 20 treatments over 8 weeks. The secondary objective is to gather preliminary data on the efficacy of rTMS for individuals with moderate to severe CUD or MUD. Follow-up visits occur at end of treatment and at 12- and 16-weeks following randomization. Other study procedures: Actigraphy: To assess daily sleep quality during weeks 1-8, the ActiGraph wristband device will record, sleep latency, sleep duration, and intervals of waking during the sleep period. Electroencephalography (EEG): EEG will be obtained after randomization and again at week 4, to explore the potential for EEG to be used as a biomarker of treatment response. Cognitive-Behavioral Educational Intervention: Participants in both conditions (rTMS and placebo) will be encouraged to participate in a mobile app-based educational intervention based on principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Daily Assessments: Brief, electronic remote surveys will be administered to participants daily until week 16 follow-up time point and will assess use of primary substance of abuse, craving, ability to resist use, overall mood, and self-rated sleep quality. Urine Drug Screens (UDS): UDS will be collected at screening, randomization, every treatment session, and at follow-up visits. Urine pregnancy tests: Pregnancy testing for all female participants will be performed at screening, randomization, and monthly during the treatment period. Physical exam: A physical exam will be performed at screening. Questionnaires: A battery of study assessments will be completed to further inform findings regarding feasibility and effects of rTMS on individuals with stimulant use disorders. ;
