First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 39 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 placebo TMS over two weeks. The goal is to see if TMS lowers the brain's response to cannabis cues and leads to less cannabis use. The study is currently suspended.
