Official title
Studies of Cognition and Behavior Using Sham Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical study is to understand how a person's expectations about treatment can influence their mood, motivation, and reactions to everyday rewards. The study includes young people ages 15-25 who will complete a sham (placebo) version of an accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment. No active brain stimulation is given. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Do expectancy and treatment beliefs change during and after an accelerated sham TMS schedule? 2. Do these expectations influence mood, reward processing, or craving? 3. Does a more intensive schedule of sham sessions lead to different expectancy effects than a slower, once-daily schedule? Participants will: * Complete baseline clinical assessments and an MRI session * Undergo five days of accelerated sham TMS (no active brain stimulation is delivered) * Complete post-treatment MRI and follow-up assessments at 1 week and 4 weeks
