Efficacy of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Reducing Cocaine Intake in Addicted Patients (MagneTox)
Efficacy of High Frequency (15Hz) Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Decreasing Intake in Patients With Cocaine Use Disorder: Study Protocol for a Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial
Study Overview
Detailed Description
40 patients are expected and randomized in two groups: 20 patients with active rTMS and 20 with placebo rTMS.
Visit 1: 15 days (3 weeks of 5 consecutive daily sessions and 2 days of rest) 15Hz rTMS is performed during the following days in addition to a biweekly urine drug test and VAS evaluation.
Visit 2: Changes from baseline to week 8 in cocaine intake. Evaluation of craving and of other assessments like mood and quality of life.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- male and female patients between 18 and 65 years of age
- patients who meet the criteria for CUD reported in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-V)
- positivity to cocaine use, determined via an urine drug test
- patients who are able to provide a written informed consent, after being notified about the treatment and the study protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
- major depression disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or other psychosis that meet the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-V
- illiteracy or cognitive impairment disorders
- women who are pregnant or lactating
- other medical diseases that contraindicate rTMS treatment such as epilepsy
- presence of devices, i.e. pace-makers or cochlear prosthesis
- previous rTMS treatments in order to avoid confounding factors

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Active rTMS group
One daily session: active 15Hz frequency, pulse intensity 100% of the rTMS, 60 pulses per train, inter-train pause of 15 sec, 40 stimulation trains for a total of 2400 pulses in 13 min of stimulation).
15 sessions (3 weeks of 5 consecutive daily sessions and 2 days of rest)
|
rTMS is a non-invasive and safe brain stimulation technique, that uses a magnetic pulse, administrated through a coil, set on the DLPFC
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo rTMS group
One daily session: inactive 15Hz frequency, pulse intensity 100% of the rTMS, 60 pulses per train, inter-train pause of 15 sec, 40 stimulation trains for a total of 2400 pulses in 13 min of stimulation).

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Cocaine intake
Time Frame: 8 weeks following the treatment
|
Baseline was defined as cocaine consumption before randomization (visit 0).
Baseline will be determined using an urine drug test.Changes from baseline to week 8 in cocaine intake
|
8 weeks following the treatment
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Craving first measure
Time Frame: 8 weeks following the treatment
|
Baseline will be determined using the Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) that is a ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 10. being 0 no craving and 10 maximum craving.
Changes from baseline to 8 week
|
8 weeks following the treatment
|
Craving second measure
Time Frame: 8 weeks following the treatment
|
Baseline will be assessed using Cocaine Craving Questionnaire (CCQ), that is a ordinal scale ranging from 0 and 45, being 0 no craving and 45 maximum craving.
|
8 weeks following the treatment
