Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of treatment and the efficacy-related neural network mechanisms by stimulating the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe with rTMS to nicotine dependent.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Efficacy of left dorsolateral prefrontal rTMS in the treatment of nicotine dependent subjects.
  • The relationship between therapeutic effect and the internal function of the large brain networks of ECN, DMN and SN, and the changes in the interaction between the networks.

Detailed Description

Participants will randomly divided into two groups,Relevant psychological and behavioral data and fMRI data were collected first, and then rTMS was continuously treated for 2 weeks. The above data were collected again after the treatment ended, and then the follow-up was conducted for 1 month. Psychobehavioral data were collected once a week for nicotine addicts.Finally, the collected neuroimage data were analyzed to compare the difference in efficacy between the true and false treatment groups, and to clarify the relationship between the efficacy of nicotine dependent patients after rTMS treatment and the internal functions of the large brain networks of ECN, DMN and SN as well as the interaction characteristics of the networks, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of effective individualized treatment programs.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Smoking Survey (FTND)

Time Frame: Baseline, every day during treatment (up to 10 days),1 week later, 2 week later,3 week later,4week later,5week later,6week later

The questions were set according to the time and occasion of smoking every day, and the degree of dependence on tobacco was assessed by scores. Scores range from 0 to 10, The higher the score, the greater the degree of dependence

Foundation desire assessment

Time Frame: Baseline, every day during treatment (up to 10 days),End of treatment:1 week later, 2 week later,3 week later,4week later

Foundation desire assessment will be assessed with visual analogue scale,Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher numbers representing higher base desires.

Craving rating (cue)

Time Frame: Baseline, every day during treatment (up to 10 days),End of treatment:1 week later, 2 week later,3 week later,4week later

Craving rating (cue) will be assessed with visual analogue scale,Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher numbers representing higher base desires.

Smoking per day

Time Frame: Baseline, every day during treatment (up to 10 days),1 week later, 2 week later,3 week later,4week later,5week later,6week later

The number of smoking per day should be filled in according to the actual situation

Desired degree of quitting

Time Frame: Baseline, 6week later

Desired degree of quitting will be assessed with visual analogue scale,Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher numbers representing higher base desires.

Pre-treatment Depression Self-Rating Scale (BDI)

Time Frame: Baseline, 6week later

BDI will be will be assessed with visual analogue scale,Scores range from 0 to 3,The higher the score, the greater the likelihood of depression.

Pre-treatment Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA)

Time Frame: Baseline, 6week later

HAMA will be assessed with visual analogue scale,Scores range from 0 to 4,The higher the score, the greater the likelihood of anxiety.

Change of functional connectivity between dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and whole brain

Time Frame: Baseline, 2 week later

Functional connectivity based on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging based on blood oxygen level dependence
