tRNS in Anterior Cingulate Cortex Reduces Craving Over Dual Pathology Patients (tRND&SUDs)
Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation in Anterior Cingulate Cortex Reduces Craving Over Dual Pathology Patients
Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Background: There is an intimate relationship between addictive behaviors and other mental disorders, proven by clinical practice and many epidemiological studies, genetic and neuroscience. This gives risk to the diagnosis of Dual Pathology: an addiction and another mental disorder.
Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that anterior cingulate cortex is associated with substance´s dependence and craving. Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) stimulates parts of the brain and can change it´s activity.
Researchers are interested in reduce cravings for substance dependence on patients with Dual Pathology using tRNS in anterior cingulate cortex.
Aims: To determine whether tRNS in anterior cingulate cortex can reduce craving over Dual Pathology patients.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: tRNS over Anterior Cingulate
Dual Pathology (Substance Use Disorder plus another psychiatric trait) 75 patients with diagnosed SUDs plus another psychiatric disorder will be receive tRNS in the disease-specific Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), be studied blindly to evaluate the craving reduction after 35 tRNS sessions.

Random Noise Stimulation between 100 and 500 Hz and 400-500 microAmperes are applied over head in particular areas

Experimental: tRNS applied over DLPFC
Dual Pathology (Substance Use Disorder plus another psychiatric trait) 75 patients with diagnosed SUDs plus another psychiatric disorder will be receive tRNS in the dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex (DLPFC), be studied blindly to evaluate the craving reduction after 35 tRNS sessions.
