Stress and rTMS to improve thinking in opioid use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS, plus a controlled stress task, can improve “executive function” (planning, focus, and other higher-level thinking) in people with opioid use disorder. It also checks safety by screening heart health and several medical and mental health factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if brain stimulation can help people starting buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. It aims to improve treatment outcomes and support recovery.
This trial combines a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS with thinking exercises to see if it helps people with opioid use disorder who are already on medication. It aims to improve treatment outcomes
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation approach to reduce opioid cravings in people who are actively using non-prescribed opioids while on stable methadone. It may help people feel less craving and improve recovery support.
This study uses a type of brain stimulation called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if it can help people who have recently started medication for opioid dependence (buprenorphine or methadone) stay on track and avoid relapse. The treatment is non-invasive and involves a mild electrical current applied to the scalp.
This trial tests whether TMS (a non-invasive brain stimulation) can improve recovery for people with both opioid and alcohol use disorders. You must be in a specific outpatient program in Portland, Oregon.
This study tests whether a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with opioid use disorder. It involves a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate certain parts of the brain.
