Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) could help reduce cravings and improve symptoms in people with methamphetamine use disorder. Twenty-two adults in Indonesia who had not yet received treatment were given TBS alongside standard counseling. The goal was to see if TBS could safely lower cravings and addiction severity.
