Identifying Electrophysiological Targets for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Cocaine Use Disorder

Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) to left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) compared to sham on electrophysiological indices of reward sensitivity and motivated attention in adults with cocaine use disorder.

Interventions

DEVICE

TMS to dmPFC

TMS will be delivered with a MagVenture Mag Pro R30 with the Cool-B70 A/P coil with active liquid cooling and active/sham sides. For dmPFC, approximately 25% of the nasion-inion distance or Talairah coordinates X 0 Y+60 Z+60 will be measured. The first session will begin with the acquisition of the resting motor threshold (rMT) on the contralateral hand. iTBS (triplet 50 Hz bursts, repeated at 5 Hz, 2 sec on and 8 sec off; 600 pulses per session) will be delivered at 110% of the rMT and will last \~3 minutes. The stimulation will start at a lower percentage and ramp up over time to acclimate participant to the feeling of stimulation. The intensity will be lowered in participant cannot tolerate the stimulation. Each participant will receive 3 sessions per visit with a 15-20 minute interval between sessions to increase the likelihood of detecting acute effects.

DEVICE

TMS to dlPFC

TMS will be delivered with a MagVenture Mag Pro R30 with the Cool-B70 A/P coil with active liquid cooling and active/sham sides. For dlPFC, position F3 will be measured, using probabilistic EEG placement. The first session will begin with the acquisition of the resting motor threshold on the contralateral hand. iTBS (triplet 50 Hz bursts, repeated at 5 Hz, 2 sec on and 8 sec off; 600 pulses per session) will be delivered at 110% of the rMT and will last 3 minutes. The stimulation will start at a lower percentage and ramp up over time to acclimate participant to the feeling of stimulation. The intensity will be lowered in participant cannot tolerate the stimulation. Each participant will receive 3 sessions per visit with a 15-20 minute interval between sessions to increase the likelihood of detecting acute effects.

DEVICE

Sham iTBS

Sham TMS will be delivered with the sham side of the MagVenture Cool B70 A/P coil. The software will be pre-programmed by a staff member that will not be involved in data analysis or collection for blinding purposes. The sham stimulation will match the number of pulses and length of time as the active condition and each participant will receive 3 sessions with a 15-20 min interval between sessions.
