Zapping the brain to beat opioid relapse: new study tests Non-Invasive technique

This study tests a new approach to help people recovering from opioid use disorder avoid relapse. About 90% of people in treatment relapse within a year. Researchers will use a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS combined with cognitive training to see if it can change brain connections linked to craving. The study involves 30 adults who are already abstinent and living in a supervised program.
