NCT03733821

Brief Summary

Sleep disruptions are prevalent complaints in cocaine use disorder (CUD) subjects, either during consumption or withdrawal. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) seem to be a promissing strategy in the treatment of chronic cocaine users. The aim of this study will be to assess the variation on self-perceived sleep quality and drug use variables in individuals with CUD undergoing a rTMS protocol over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • High frequency rTMS effects on subjective sleep quality in CUD patients

    The subjective sleep quality will be assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). This scale is composed by 19 items clustered into 7 components, including sleep duration, sleep disturbance, sleep latency, daytime dysfunction, sleep efficiency, overall sleep quality, and sleep medication use. Each of them generates a score ranging from 0 to 3, with the highest value indicating the greatest dysfunction. The sleep component scores are summed to produce a global score ranging from 0 to 21 with the higher score indicating worse sleep quality. A global score higher than 5 is considered an indicator of relevant sleep disturbances.

    Baseline- Day 5 (after 10 rTMS sessions)- Day 30 (after 16 rTMS sessions)- Day 60 (after 24 rTMS sessions)- Day 90 (after 32 rTMS sessions)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • High frequency rTMS effects on self-reported craving in CUD patients

    Baseline- Day 5 (after 10 rTMS sessions)- Day 30 (after 16 rTMS sessions)- Day 60 (after 24 rTMS sessions)- Day 90 (after 32 rTMS sessions)

  • High frequency rTMS effects on Depression Symptoms in CUD patients

    Baseline- Day 30 (after 16 rTMS sessions)- Day 60 (after 24 rTMS sessions)- Day 90 (after 32 rTMS sessions)

  • High frequency rTMS effects on Anxiety Symptoms in CUD patients

    Baseline- Day 5 (after 10 rTMS sessions)- Day 30 (after 16 rTMS sessions)- Day 60 (after 24 rTMS sessions)- Day 90 (after 32 rTMS sessions)

  • High frequency rTMS effects on subjective symptoms of mental disorder in CUD patients

    Baseline- Day 5 (after 10 rTMS sessions)- Day 30 (after 16 rTMS sessions)- Day 60 (after 24 rTMS sessions)- Day 90 (after 32 rTMS sessions)

  • High frequency rTMS effects on cocaine intake

    Baseline- Day 5 (after 10 rTMS sessions)- Day 30 (after 16 rTMS sessions)- Day 60 (after 24 rTMS sessions)- Day 90 (after 32 rTMS sessions)
