Summary

This study looks at how a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) and a stress-inducing drug affect thinking, cravings, and stress responses in people with opioid use disorder who are not seeking treatment. Researchers will measure things like memory, decision-making, and biological stress markers. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms involved, not to provide treatment.
