Smell-based memory task in people with opioid-use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests how people learn and infer what something means using a smell-and-memory task. It compares people with opioid-use disorder who are abstinent, those in maintenance treatment, and healthy controls to see what affects learning and decision-making after opioid use.
