Summary

This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce cravings in people with cocaine addiction. About 120 adults will receive the stimulation while doing thinking tasks, and their brain activity will be scanned. If it works, this could become a portable, self-use tool to manage cravings in real life.
