Zapping the brain to fight meth cravings: early trial tests new approach

NCT ID NCT04449055

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique could help people with methamphetamine addiction. Researchers used magnetic pulses on two specific brain areas to see if it could reduce cravings, improve mood, and help people stay in treatment. The study involved 19 participants who were already receiving counseling, and it aimed to see if the approach was practical and safe before planning larger trials.
