Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can reduce withdrawal symptoms in people with opioid use disorder. About 100 participants will stay in a hospital for one week, receive either real or sham stimulation, and complete surveys and brain scans. The goal is to see if this approach makes withdrawal less severe and helps people start medication-assisted treatment.
