Summary
This study tests whether personalized deep brain stimulation (DBS) can safely reduce cravings and opioid use in people with severe, treatment-resistant opioid use disorder. Six adults aged 22-75 who have used opioids for over 5 years and have not responded to other treatments will receive brain mapping and then adaptive DBS. The goal is to find brain signals linked to craving and use stimulation to control them, but this is an early safety and feasibility study, not a cure.
