Abstract

Substance addiction is a chronic and recurrent disorder and may be related to complex neural circuits. However, there is no optimally effective treatment for substance addiction currently. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive, safe and easy-to-operate neuroelectrophysiological technique, which is becoming an emerging therapeutic option for many mental disorders. The effect of rTMS on substance addiction is closely related to the stimulation of neural circuits. However, the mechanism is still unknown. The review summarizes recent research progress on the application of rTMS and its application combined with other therapies in substance addiction, as well as the regulation of rTMS on substance addiction-related neural circuits.

Key words： substance addiction; repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS); brain neural circuit; therapy; craving
