the Role of Repetitive Trans Cranial-magnetic Stimulation in Craving Reduction Among Opioid Use Disorder Patients

NCT04691167 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 52

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Repetitive Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a relatively safe and non-invasive method to modulate neuronal activity; rTMS uses alternating magnetic fields in a certain frequency to induce an electric current in the underlying brain tissue.

Administering high frequency rTMS to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is possible to increase brain activity in the stimulated area and to change brain activity in associated regions that are part of the same neural circuit which may reduce craving.
