About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether closed-loop transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) 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 TMS significantly reduce cue-reactivity, as measured by a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and cue-reactivity task, compared to a conventional treatment protocol and random TMS ? Does closed-loop stimulation enhance cognitive control, assessed by performance on the Stop Signal Task (SST), more effectively than the other stimulation modes? Researchers will compare closed-loop, conventional, and random TMS conditions to determine whether closed-loop yields superior symptom improvement.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to one of the three stimulation group (closed-loop, conventional and random) according to a pre generated random number table, and receive the corresponding stimulation session.
Undergo cue-reactivity assessment using VAS and cue-reactivity task, and complete the SST before and after each stimulation session.
