  • Cannabis Use Disorder

Eligibility Criteria

Sex
ALL
Age
15 Years - 21 Years
Healthy Volunteers
Not accepted

Interventions

  • Magstim SuperRapid2 — DEVICE
    Intermittent burst stimulation (iTBS) bursts of 3 pulses at 30 Hz repeated every 200ms for 2 s (1 train), trains repeat every 10s apart (8s inter-burst interval between trains), 600 total pulses, 70% RMT (190 sec duration)
  • Sham rTMS — DEVICE
    All sham participants will be exposed to the same procedures as the active rTMS condition but using the sham air-cooled coil. The sham coil looks and sounds the same as the active coil but it has a shield in it that blocks the magnetic field (so it is not stimulating the brain at all).

Study Details

This pilot study will investigate the potential of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to strengthen a neural circuit critical for maintaining abstinence in adolescents and youth with cannabis use disorder (CUD).

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Active rTMS
    During TMS, a pulsed magnetic field is produced by a small coil positioned over a targeted area on the scalp, inducing an electric current in the brain that temporarily modulates cortical activity. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) paradigms use trains of pulses to induce cortical effects that outlast the duration of stimulation.
  • Sham Comparator: Sham rTMS
    All sham participants will be exposed to the same procedures as the active rTMS condition but using the sham air-cooled coil. The sham coil looks and sounds the same as the active coil but it has a shield in it that blocks the magnetic field (so it is not stimulating the brain at all).

Primary Outcome Measure

Feasibility, tolerability, and acceptability of rTMS [ Time Frame: Month 4 ]
