| Abstract: | Aim: In recent decades, the prevalence of amphetamine and methamphetamine use disorders has at least doubled in some regions/countries, with accompanying high risks of drug overdose‐associated mortality. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods may be effective treatments. However, the comparative efficacy of the NIBS protocol for amphetamine/methamphetamine use disorder (AUD/MUD) remains unknown to date. The aim of this network meta‐analysis (NMA) was to compare the efficacy and acceptability of various NIBS methods/protocols for AUD/MUD management. Methods: A frequentist model‐based NMA was conducted. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the efficacy of NIBS and guideline‐recommended pharmacologic treatments to reduce craving severity in patients with either AUD or MUD. Results: Twenty‐two RCTs including 1888 participants met the eligibility criteria. Compared with the sham/placebo group (study = 19, subjects = 891), a combination of intermittent theta burst stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and continuous TBS over the left ventromedial prefrontal cortex (study = 1, subjects = 19) was associated with the largest decreases in craving severity [standardized mean difference (SMD) = −1.50; 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) = −2.70 to −0.31]. High‐frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left DLPFC was associated with the largest improvements in depression and quality of sleep (study = 3, subjects = 86) (SMD = −2.48; 95%CIs = −3.25 to −1.71 and SMD = −2.43; 95%CIs = −3.38 to −1.48, respectively). The drop‐out rate of most investigated treatments did not significantly differ between groups. Conclusion: The combined TBS protocol over the prefrontal cortex was associated with the greatest improvement in craving severity. Since few studies were available for inclusion, additional large‐scale randomized controlled trials are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
