Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for symptomatic improvement of amphetamine-dependent patients after withdrawal

Objective: To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the symptoms of amphetamine-dependent patients after withdrawal. Method: 71 patients with amphetamine-dependent patients were randomly divided into study group and control group. The study group received system rTMS. Treatment, the control group received pseudo-stimulation treatment similar to rTMS, a total of 5 times. At baseline and after the first and fifth treatments, the visual analog scale (VAS) and the amphetamine withdrawal symptom assessment scale were used to assess the patient's psychological craving and symptoms after withdrawal. Results: After one magnetic stimulation treatment in the study group and the control group, the scores were lower than the baseline scores (p
