"Reducing Cocaine Craving with High-Frequency Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation"

TL;DR Summary
A systematic review of experiments found that high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex significantly reduced cravings for cocaine and decreased impulsivity in response to extreme negative emotions in individuals with cocaine use disorder. The findings suggest that this non-invasive treatment method may hold promise for addressing cocaine addiction, although more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness.
