Closed-loop TBS Targeting rPO for the Core Clinical Features of Methamphetamine Use Disorder
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Closed-loop Theta-Burst Stimulation (TBS) Targeting rPO: Participants receive theta-burst stimulation (TBS) over the right parietal-occipital cortex (rPO), triggered by real time by EEG signals recorded during a cue-reactivity task. This closed-loop protocol aims to deliver stimulation precisely during neural states associated with cue-induced reactivity.
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether closed-loop theta-burst stimulation (TBS) targeting the right parietal-occipital cortex (rPO) can improve core clinical symptoms in individuals with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD), such as cue-reactivity and impaired inhibitory control.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can closed-loop rPO-TBS significantly reduce cue-reactivity, as measured by a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and a cue-reactivity task? Does closed-loop stimulation enhance cognitive control, assessed by performance on the Stop Signal Task (SST)?
Researchers will administer closed loop TBS to determine whether it can improve the core symptoms of MUD.
Participants will:
Complete a single closed-loop session. Receive theta-burst stimulation targeting the right parietal-occipital cortex while completing the cue-reactivity task.
Undergo cue-reactivity assessment using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and complete the Stop Signal Task (SST) before and after the stimulation session.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Cue-Induced Neural Reactivity During Before and After Stimulation — During cue-reactivity task in training and stimulation phases of each session.
EEG signals will be recorded while participants perform a cue-reactivity task during both the training phase (no stimulation) and the stimulation phase (with TBS). The primary outcome will be changes in cue-induced neural reactivity, defined by EEG features in response to methamphetamine-related cues.
