ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of a treatment called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on people who have cognitive impairments due to methamphetamine use. The goal is to understand how methamphetamine affects brain function and to see if tACS can help improve thinking and memory skills in these patients. Researchers are currently looking for participants aged 18 to 65 who have a specific diagnosis of methamphetamine use disorder and do not have any other drug use, serious health issues, or mental illnesses.
If you or someone you know is eligible and decides to participate, you can expect to undergo some assessments to evaluate cognitive function and possibly receive the tACS treatment. This non-invasive treatment involves using a device that delivers a mild electrical current to the scalp, which aims to enhance brain activity. Participating in this trial could help you gain a better understanding of the impact of methamphetamine on your cognitive abilities and explore a potential new way to improve them.
