Transcranial magnetic stimulation for opioid use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain can help people with opioid use disorder manage cravings and thinking. It may offer a new way to support recovery alongside other treatments.

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 uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. It may help reduce depressive symptoms for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
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 tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to help adults who smoke heavily and are being treated for opioid use disorder quit smoking. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce cravings and make it easier to stop smoking.
