Brain stimulation for opioid use disorder treatment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if brain stimulation can help people starting buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. It aims to improve treatment outcomes and support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- 18 years old or older
- Diagnosed with moderate to severe opioid use disorder, with opioids as the main drug problem
- Starting buprenorphine and planning to stop using opioids
- No current or past bipolar disorder or psychotic disorders like schizophrenia

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 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 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 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.
This study is testing whether a brain stimulation treatment called deep TMS can help people with opioid use disorder quit smoking. It is for those who are already in treatment for opioid use disorder and are motivated to quit.
This study uses brain scans to understand how adversity affects opioid use and recovery. It compares people with opioid use disorder on buprenorphine, people taking buprenorphine for chronic pain, and healthy volunteers.
