Key Points Question Is low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation associated with reduced behavioral impulsivity in patients who use methamphetamine? Findings In this randomized clinical trial, patients who use methamphetamine exhibited greater impulsivity than healthy control participants, and low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left prefrontal cortex improved impulsivity control in these patients. Meaning These findings suggest that brain stimulation could be adopted for impulsivity intervention in the rehabilitation of patients who use methamphetamine.
