The paired sample t-test and repeated-variance test showed improvement in the MUD group. a A line graph shows a significant reduction in craving in the MUD treatment (MUD-t) group (n = 24), but no such change in the MUD blank (MUD-n) group (n = 26). Each line represents a subject’s pre- and post-treatment measurements. Post data for four MUD patients were missing from the data analysis due to arrests prior to post-testing and some patients have the same pre- and post-thirst scores, so the lines will overlap. b Line and scatter plots illustrate a more advantageous selection in Iowa Gambling Task for the MUD-t group after rTMS treatment. Dark red lines represent pre-rTMS patients, while dark blue indicates post-rTMS patients. The proportion of beneficial deck selection increases as the experimental blocking progresses (***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, ## means that the main effect of block is significant, specifically p < 0.01).
