Deep Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Cannabis Use Disorder

Deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) uses transient electromagnetic fields to stimulate the brain and is approved by Health Canada and the FDA for the treatment of depression, anxious depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and tobacco use disorder. Compared to the traditional TMS, dTMS is able to target brain depths ranging from 2 to 6 cm. With the use of various H-coils, dTMS has been used to target specific neural networks with the aim of producing desired clinical effects in psychiatric populations. The intervention in this study is the H4 dTMS coil which stimulates the lateral prefrontal cortex and the insula in the brain.
