Brain zaps tested to break meth habit in opioid patients

NCT ID NCT04264741

Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique could help people who are on methadone treatment for opioid addiction also stop using methamphetamine. Over 4 weeks, participants received either real or fake magnetic pulses to their brain. Researchers tracked drug use through weekly urine tests for 16 weeks and measured changes in cravings and thinking skills to see if the treatment was effective and safe.
