First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS plus ultrasound) to help people with opioid use disorder and chronic pain reduce drug use. Researchers will compare active stimulation to a sham (fake) treatment in 126 adults already on methadone. The goal is to see if this approach can lower cravings, pain, and opioid use.
