Trial Outcomes & Findings for Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Opiate Use Disorder (NCT NCT03538444)

NCT ID: NCT03538444

Last Updated: 2022-02-14

Results Overview

Change in cue-induced craving ratings on 10 point Likert Scales. 0=Not at all; 10=Extremely How much do you WANT TO USE \_(opiate of choice)\_ right now? HOW HARD would it be for you TO RESIST USING\_(opiate of choice)\_ right now if it was offered to you? How much do you currently crave opiates? (scores on each of those questions are summed to be between 0 and 30 with 30 being the highest (and indicating the most craving).

Measure
Active rTMS
Participants will receive 18 sessions of active repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation over a period of three days. TMS consists of 3000 pulses of 10Hz stimulation applied to the left DLPFC using the beam F3 method Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique which is currently FDA-approved as a treatment for major depressive disorder
Sham rTMS
Participants will receive 18 sessions of sham rTMS over a period of three days. Sham rTMS: Participants will undergo procedures that mimic rTMS, but that are inactive.
