Closed-loop tTIS Targeted of the Nac as an Intervention for MUD Patients

31 de agosto de 2026 atualizado por: Shanghai Mental Health Center

Closed-loop Transcranial Temporal Interference Stimulation Targeted of the Nucleus Accumbens as an Intervention for Methamphetamine Use Disorder Patients

Closed-loop transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) targeting the nucleus accumbens may modulate abnormal neural responses to drug-related cues in individuals with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD), thereby reducing drug craving and improving cognitive and behavioral control. Stimulation will be delivered in real time according to each patient's cue-induced response time.

Descrição detalhada

This project will recruit individuals with methamphetamine use disorder. Participants will receive closed-loop transcranial temporal interference stimulation targeting the nucleus accumbens once daily for five consecutive days. During each intervention session, participants will be exposed to methamphetamine-related cues, and stimulation will be triggered according to their response time.

Before and after the intervention, clinical questionnaires and behavioral tasks will be administered to evaluate changes in drug craving, methamphetamine-use-related symptoms, inhibitory control, and reward-related decision-making. Cue-induced neural responses will also be assessed to investigate the neural mechanisms through which closed-loop tTIS targeting the nucleus accumbens may alleviate craving and improve addiction-related cognitive and behavioral dysfunction.

Armas e Intervenções

Grupo de Participantes / Braço
Intervenção / Tratamento
Comparador Falso: Grupo de Controlo
Os parâmetros de estimulação - incluindo frequência, intensidade da corrente e duração - são idênticos aos do grupo ativo. No entanto, o modo de estimulação simulada é ativado no dispositivo, resultando na ausência de corrente real durante a estimulação.
Dispositivo: Shame
The stimulation parameters-including frequency, current intensity, and duration-are identical to those in the active group. However, the sham stimulation mode is activated on the device, resulting in consist of a 5-s current ramp-up, but 0 s of continuous stimulation during the stimulation.
Experimental: Temporal Interference Stimulation Group
The first pair of electrodes continuously delivers a current at a frequency of f1 = 2 kHz, while the second pair delivers a current at f2 = 2.130 kHz. Based on the principle of temporal interference, an alternating electric field at a frequency of f1 - f2 = 130 Hz is generated in the target region.
Dispositivo: Temporal Interference Stimulation
Each session will comprise 240 trials, during which stimulation may be triggered up to 10 times according to the participant's cue-reactivity state. Each stimulation will consist of a 5-s current ramp-up, 30 s of continuous stimulation, and a 5-s current ramp-down. The intervention will be administered once daily for five consecutive days.

Descrição da medida
Prazo
Obsessive-Compulsive Drug Use Scale score
Prazo: baseline, 1 day after treatment, 1 month after treatment
Drug-related obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours will be assessed using the Obsessive-Compulsive Drug Use Scale (OCDUS). The scale consists of 14 items rated from 0 to 4, producing a total score ranging from 0 to 56. Higher scores indicate more severe drug-related obsessive thoughts, craving, and impaired control over drug use.
baseline, 1 day after treatment, 1 month after treatment
Dual-Mode of Self-Control Scale-Impulsive System score
Prazo: baseline, 1 day after treatment, 1 month after treatment
Impulsive tendencies will be assessed using the Impulsive System subscale of the Dual-Mode of Self-Control Scale (DMSC-S). The subscale contains 12 items rated from 1 to 5, producing a total score ranging from 12 to 60. Higher scores indicate stronger impulsive-system tendencies, including greater impulsivity, distractibility, and preference for immediate gratification.
baseline, 1 day after treatment, 1 month after treatment
Dual-Mode of Self-Control Scale-Control System score
Prazo: baseline, 1 day after treatment, 1 month after treatment
Self-control will be assessed using the Control System subscale of the Dual-Mode of Self-Control Scale (DMSC-S). The subscale contains 9 items rated from 1 to 5, producing a total score ranging from 9 to 45.
