Zapping the brain to fight opioid cravings: vanderbilt tests new approach

NCT ID NCT07457489

Summary

This study is testing whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with opioid use disorder who are taking medication like buprenorphine. Researchers will use a device called TMS to stimulate a specific brain area linked to craving and self-control. Over 100 participants will receive either real or fake stimulation over 8 weeks to see if it reduces their urge to use opioids and their actual opioid use.
