First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how opioid use disorder affects thinking skills like memory and attention, and whether these changes can predict how well people do in treatment. Researchers will use brain scans, computer-based cognitive tests, and machine learning to analyze data from 192 adults on stable medication for opioid use disorder. The goal is to better understand why some people struggle with treatment and relapse, which could lead to more personalized care in the future.
