MPFC Theta Burst Stimulation as a Treatment Tool for Alcohol Use Disorder: Effects on Drinking and Incentive Salience
NCT04998916
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to develop transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), specifically TMS at a frequency known as theta burst stimulation (TBS), to see how it affects the brain and changes the brain's response to alcohol-related pictures. TMS and TBS are stimulation techniques that use magnetic pulses to temporarily excite specific brain areas in awake people (without the need for surgery, anesthetic, or other invasive procedures). TBS, which is a form of TMS, will be applied over the me... Read More

rTMS in Older Adults With MCI and AUD
NCT05896332
Recruiting
Alcohol misuse is a risk factor for early onset cognitive impairment, contributing to 10% of early onset dementia, with risk corresponding to consumption. Additionally, continued drinking risks worsening cognitive decline and dementia progression, while worsening cognitive impairment contributes to drinking escalation. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to improve cognition in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dimentias (ADRD) and separately reduce heavy drinking in... Read More

Impact of Capturing Ictal Events With Ultra-long-term Ambulatory EEG Monitoring With Remote EEG Monitoring System.
NCT06027749
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test Epitel's™ Remote EEG Monitoring System's (REMI™) ability to record electroencephalography (EEG) of seizure events in an ambulatory setting for extended periods (14 - 28 days) in patients presenting with questionable seizure characterization. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Can more seizure events be recorded in fourteen (14) days than can be recorded in three (3) days? • Do treating clinicians find clinical value in extended fourteen (14) -...

Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
NCT05668351
Recruiting
This single arm trial will investigate a novel way to plan and deliver SABR for prostate cancer. Prostate-directed SABR will be high-dose SABR (40 Gy in 5 fractions) with central sparing of the urethra and peripheral sparing of the rectum and pudendal arteries (SUPR-SABR). This study tests the hypothesis that genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity rates following SUPR-SABR are comparable to (or possibly lower than) historical GU and GI toxicity rates following standard SABR (stSAB...
