Experimental: dlPFC then dmPFC then Sham iTBS
|
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.
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.

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.
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.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in the amplitude of the Reward Positivity (RewP) component in microvolts in response to feedback on the Doors Task
Time Frame: Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
The Doors Task will be used to elicit the RewP component, representing reward sensitivity.
The task is a guessing game, where participants guess which door contains a reward behind it.
After selecting a door, the participants are notified if they found the prize by a green arrow pointing up or if they did not find the prize by a red arrow pointing down.
|
Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
Change in the amplitude of the Late Positive Potential (LPP) in microvolts in response to visual stimuli on the Picture Viewing Task.
Time Frame: Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
The Picture Viewing Task will be used to elicit the LPP, reflecting the motivational salience of a stimulus.
During this task, participants are asked to view a slide show of images including pleasant, unpleasant, neutral, and cocaine-related images.
|
Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in cognitive function as assessed by the The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
Time Frame: Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
Total score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.
|
Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
Change in craving as assessed by the Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale (MCCS)
Time Frame: Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
The intensity of craving score will be used, scored from 1(none at all) to 10 (a great deal).
|
Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
Change in pain as assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
This is scored from 1(no pain) to 10 (worst pain)
|
Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
Change in behavioral reward learning as assessed by the Pavlovian Go/No-Go task
Time Frame: Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
In the first "learning" phase, participants learn whether to press a button or withhold a response to receive a monetary reward or avoid a loss.
In the second "transfer" phase, participants perform a forced choice task, where each of the predictive cues in the learning phase are paired with each other.
Participants must select the "most rewarding" cue.
|
Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
Change in Anhedonia as assessed by the Snaith Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS)
Time Frame: Baseline(before iTBS session),immediately after iTBS session
|
This is a 14 item questionnaire.
9 of the questions are scored from 0(strongly disagree) to 3( strongly agree) and the rest are reverse coded with answer choices as follows: definitely agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree.
Final scores range from 0-14 and higher score indicates worse outcome.
