Brain zaps and daydreams: new combo therapy targets meth cravings

NCT ID NCT06712446

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early study tests whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) with a mental exercise called Episodic Future Thinking (imagining positive future events) can help people with methamphetamine use disorder make less impulsive choices and reduce their desire for the drug. Twenty participants will receive either real or fake (sham) brain stimulation along with the future-thinking training. The goal is to see if this approach can lower impulsivity and drug demand, which could eventually lead to better treatment options.
