Either at left or right, both high and low frequency rTMS of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex decreases cue induced craving for methamphetamine.

CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, bilateral frontal hemispheres are effective in modulating the cue induced craving to methamphetamine with rTMS. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: TMS targeting prefrontal cortex is effective for craving modulation; however the mechanism is more than potentiation or depression of single brain region.
