What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Short PROMIS Questionnaire

    The SPQ is a 160-question paper that counsellors and researchers can use to measure an individual's level of addictive tendency in each of sixteen distinct behavioural areas. Will be applied at the following times:

    T0 (weeks 0 - immediately prior to the rTMS) T1 (4 weeks, after four weeks of treatment with rTMS) and T2 (8 weeks, four weeks after completing treatment).

    The improvement rate of 10% or more, will be our primary measure of efficacy. T0 (

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in people with Cocaine Dependence, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ádan Jardim (+551130698159), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Short PROMIS Questionnaire (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jul 2011.
