Summary

This study tests a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear to see if it helps people with both PTSD and opioid use disorder stick with their buprenorphine treatment. Twenty participants will use either the active device or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers will check if the device is comfortable, easy to use, and helps people stay in treatment for three and six months.
