Zapping the brain to fight addiction cravings

NCT ID NCT05049460

Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) could help people with both opioid and tobacco addictions. Researchers compared real TBS to a fake (sham) treatment to see if it reduced cravings and made people pay less attention to drug-related cues. The goal was to see if this approach could be a helpful add-on treatment for managing these substance use disorders.
