A Randomized Controlled Trial of Medial Prefrontal Cortex Theta Burst Stimulation for Cocaine Use Disorder: A Three-Month Feasibility and Brain Target Engagement Study
Background
Cue-induced craving precipitates relapse in drug and alcohol use disorders. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) to the left frontal pole of the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) has previously been shown to reduce drinking and brain reactivity to alcohol cues. In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled target engagement study, we aimed to assess whether TBS has similar effects in individuals with cocaine use disorder.
Methods
Thirty-three participants in intensive outpatient treatment received either real or sham TBS over 10 sessions across 3 weeks (36,000 pulses total; continuous TBS, 110% resting motor threshold, 3600 pulses/session). TBS was administered on days of behavioral counseling. Twenty-five individuals completed all 10 TBS sessions. Brain reactivity to cocaine cues was measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months.
Results
Cocaine abstinence during the 3-month follow-up period was greater in the real TBS group (1-month: 92.0%, 2-month: 100.0%, 3-month: 85.0%) than sham (1-month: 66.6%, 2-month: 66.6%, 3-month: 66.6%), although the difference was not statistically significant (1-month odds ratio [OR] = 6.00, p = .14; 2-month OR = 14.30, p = .09; and 3-month OR = 2.75, p = .30). However, there was a significant effect on cocaine cue reactivity (treatment effect: F1,365 = 8.92, p = .003; time × treatment interaction: F3,365 = 12.88, p < .001). Real TBS reduced cocaine cue reactivity in the MPFC (F3,72 = 5.46, p = .02), the anterior cingulate (F3,72 = 3.03, p = .04), and the insula (F3,72 = 3.60, p = .02).
Conclusions
This early-stage trial demonstrates that TBS to the MPFC reduces brain reactivity to cocaine cues in key nodes of the salience network in treatment-seeking cocaine users. Future, well-powered trials are warranted to evaluate clinical efficacy outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging is an official journal of the Society for Biological Psychiatry, whose purpose is to promote excellence in scientific research and education in fields that investigate the nature, causes, mechanisms, and treatments of disorders of thought, emotion, or behavior. In accord with this mission, this peer-reviewed, rapid-publication, international journal focuses on studies using the tools and constructs of cognitive neuroscience, including the full range of non-invasive neuroimaging and human extra- and intracranial physiological recording methodologies. It publishes both basic and clinical studies, including those that incorporate genetic data, pharmacological challenges, and computational modeling approaches. The journal publishes novel results of original research which represent an important new lead or significant impact on the field. Reviews and commentaries that focus on topics of current research and interest are also encouraged.
