Summary

This study looks at whether older adults (55+) in methadone treatment for opioid use disorder can use smartphone-based cognitive games to track and possibly improve their thinking skills. Thirty participants will play short brain-training tasks twice a day for 15 days. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: smartphone-based cognitive tasks (NeuroUX)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to better ways to monitor and improve thinking skills in older adults recovering from opioid use disorder.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (30 people) testing only feasibility, not effectiveness. The cognitive tasks may not be engaging or useful for everyone, and results may not apply to broader populations.
