High-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation improves general and cue-related inhibitory control in heroin use disorder: A randomized sham-controlled pilot trial

A randomized sham-controlled pilot trial reported that high-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation enhanced both general and cue-related inhibitory control in heroin use disorder. The source record supplied only the article title, publisher, and publication date without additional study details.

Generated scores

Scores are based on the cited reporting and use a 1–10 scale. Read the methodology.

Confidence: 3/10How certain the assessment is based on the clarity and evidence in the cited reporting.
Geographic reach: 1/10How widely the event reaches, from a local area (1) to worldwide impact (10).
Global importance: 3/10The event's broader significance, from limited importance (1) to major global importance (10).
Impact magnitude: 3/10The scale or severity of the real-world impact, from minor (1) to extreme (10).
Positivity: 7/10How harmful or beneficial the event is, from strongly harmful (1) to strongly positive (10).
Urgency: 1/10How time-sensitive the event is, from low urgency (1) to immediate attention needed (10).

Why it matters

The reported improvement in inhibitory control is directly relevant to clinical research on interventions for heroin use disorder.
