First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at whether stimulating a specific part of the brain with TMS (a non-invasive magnetic pulse) can lower cravings and opioid use in people with opioid use disorder. About 100 adults who are already taking buprenorphine will attend 12 visits over 5 months for TMS sessions, questionnaires, and optional brain scans. The goal is to learn if this approach works, not to provide direct treatment.
