Summary

The present study measures the cerebral hemodynamic indices of alcohol dependent patients and observe the relative changes in these parameters with rTMS application.

Conditions

  • Alcohol Dependence

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

The motor threshold for the left abductor pollicis brevis was determined using a figure-of-eight-shaped coil at 1 Hz frequency. Ten (over 2 weeks) rTMS sessions were administered over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with an air-cooled figure-of-eight coil, angled tangentially to the head. At right DLPFC, active high-frequency (10 Hz) stimulation was administered for 4.9 seconds per train, with inter-train interval of 30 seconds, and a total of 20 trains per session. Each patient received 1000 pulses per day. The sham group was administered rTMS with the same parameters, but using a figure-of-eight sham coil.
