NCT ID NCT05401929
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help heavy cannabis users reduce their use. Fifty near-daily users will receive either real or fake (placebo) TMS over five days. Researchers will measure changes in cannabis use and brain activity using text surveys and brain scans. The goal is to see if TMS can lower attention to drug cues and lead to meaningful reductions in cannabis use.
