What is being tested?
The study is testing the feasibility and safety of a technique called H7-Coil deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a potential treatment for people struggling with Stimulant Use Disorder. Participants will undergo sessions where magnetic fields stimulate brain regions involved in addiction.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of deep TMS may include discomfort at the stimulation site on the scalp, headache during or after treatment, lightheadedness, twitching of facial muscles during stimulation sessions and rare risk of seizure.
