Brain zaps tested to fight opioid cravings

This study explores whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people with opioid addiction who are starting methadone treatment. Researchers are testing if stimulating specific brain areas can improve patients' ability to handle stress and control cravings, which might reduce relapse. The study involves 32 participants who receive either real or sham stimulation while completing thinking tasks and reporting their drug use.
