| Contingency Management (CM) | Behavioral | Participants will have thrice-weekly (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) clinic visits, during which participants can earn rewards for submitting a cocaine-negative UDS.CM sessions will consist of the following components: 1) brief discussion of any substance use/cravings since prior CM session; 2) verification that the target behavior (abstinence) was achieved; 3) if achieved, provide incentives and discuss individual plans to use the earnings; 4) if not achieved, review the goals of CM and plans to continue engaging in treatment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants who test negative for cocaine use as assessed by urine drug screen | this will be measured measured 3 times per week throughout the study | from Baseline to Week 11 |
| Cocaine craving as assessed by cocaine craving questionnaire (CCQ) | this will be administered weekly. This is a 45 item questionnaire and each is scored on a Likert scale from 1( strongly disagree), to 7(strongly agree). Score range is 45 (minimum) - 315 (maximum).Higher scores indicate greater cocaine craving. | from Baseline to Week 11 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Cue-induced craving as assessed by VAS during cue task | Cue-induced craving will be assessed with a 100-pt Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) that will ask "How much are you craving cocaine right now?" before and after exposure to an EEG Picture Viewing Task that will display cocaine, emotional, and neutral images. Higher score indicates more craving. | Baseline, Week 2, Week 11 |

| Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Sham | Device | The sham stimulations with negligible induced electric fields, delivered via the same H4 coil to mimic the acoustic characteristics and scalp sensations of active H4 will be used. |
|
| Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) experimental | Device | Participants will sit comfortably in a chair with head support and wear protective earplugs. A Brainsway Deep TMS system model 104 with an H4 coil will be used. Following the standardized procedure, the H4 coil is held by a mechanical arm and positioned 6 cm anterior to the motor spot.Duration: The proposed H4 coil-delivered accelerated TMS protocol will use iTBS for 3 sessions a day, 3 days a week, for 6 weeks (54 sessions) followed by two weeks of 3 sessions a day (6 additional maintenance sessions). For each iTBS session, bursts of 3 pulses at 50 Hz are repeated at 5 Hz as a train for 2 seconds. The intertrain interval is 8 seconds. There are 20 trains lasting 192 seconds (600 pulses) per session. Each visit day includes 3 iTBS sessions (i.e., accelerated iTBS) 30 minutes apart,96 lasting approximately ~70 minutes per visit. |
| Change in amplitude of the Late Positive Potential (LPP) in Microvolts in Response to Visual Stimuli on the Picture Viewing Task as Assessed by EEG | The Picture Viewing Task will be used to elicit the late positive potential (LPP), reflecting the motivational salience of a stimulus. During this task, participants are asked to view a slideshow of images including pleasant, unpleasant, neutral, and cocaine-related images. The amplitude of the LPP in microvolts in response to visual stimuli is reported. | Baseline, Week 2, Week 11 |
| Change in Functional Connectivity between the Bilateral anterior insula (AIn) and central amygdala (CeA) as measured by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) | Functional connectivity between bilateral anterior insula and central amygdala regions will be quantified using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and seed-based connectivity analysis. | Baseline, Week 2, Week 11 |
| Change in Phenotype assessment battery (PhAB) as assessed by addiction domains of cognition, reward, and negative emotionality | The Phenotype Assessment Battery (PhAB) assesses addiction-related domains including cognition, reward processing, and negative emotionality using a standardized battery of behavioral tasks and self-report measures. Individual measure scores are calculated according to established scoring procedures and converted to standardized scores. Standardized scores within each domain are combined to generate domain-specific composite scores. Composite scores are continuous measures without a fixed range, with higher scores indicating greater impairment within the respective domain. | Baseline, Week 2, Week 11 |
