High-frequency brain stimulation for opioid use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with amphetamine use disorder. It uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas linked to addiction, potentially reducing cravings and improving recovery.
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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can reduce opioid cravings and help people who are already taking buprenorphine stay in recovery. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain involved in addiction.
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 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 looks at brain connectivity using an MRI scan and then treats some people with rTMS (a non-surgical brain stimulation). It’s designed for adults who use opioids and currently have active suicidal thoughts, to better understand and help those symptoms.
