Identify the Optimal TMS Target to Modulate Reward Activity

Category Primary study
Registry of TrialsClinicalTrials.gov
Year 2023
Our primary goal will be to identify the optimal prefrontal-cingulate target by systematically measuring the efficacy of various image-based targeting techniques to increase the reward positivity using the 10-Hz TMS protocol in dependent smokers. Our secondary objective will be to measure the targets\' effectiveness to increase decision-making capacity using the probabilistic selection task (PST). Our third objective will be to specifically assess whether the TMS targets has a differential impact on state levels of craving relative to baseline (Tobacco Craving Questionnaire \[TCQ\]. We plan to accomplish these three objectives using a randomized, controlled experiment involving 3 sessions.
