Methamphetamine abuse results in a host of social and medical issues. Methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) can hinder the brain and impair cognitive functions and mental health. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive approach in the treatment of MUD. Recent studies have demonstrated encouraging and positive effects of TMS on the craving, affective symptoms, sleep quality, and cognitive functions in individuals with MUD. The regulation of specific brain activities through TMS has also been found to be a contributing factor to these positive outcomes. It is essential to employ more techniques, participants, and stimulation parameters and targets in the future.
甲基苯丙胺滥用会引发一系列社会和医学问题。甲基苯丙胺使用障碍(MUD)会影响大脑,损害认知功能和心理健康。经颅磁刺激(TMS)是治疗MUD的一种非侵入性方法。最近的研究表明,TMS对MUD患者的渴望、情感症状、睡眠质量和认知功能具有令人鼓舞的积极影响。通过TMS调节特定的大脑活动也被发现是这些积极结果的一个促成因素。未来采用更多的技术、参与者以及刺激参数和靶点至关重要。
