Brain stimulation and training for opioid use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a diagnosis of opioid use disorder
- You are currently taking medication for opioid use disorder (like methadone or buprenorphine)
- You plan to stay in the study for the whole treatment period
- You do not have any serious medical condition that affects your brain (like a past head injury with skull fracture or loss of consciousness over 30 minutes)
- You do not have any reason that makes tDCS or MRI unsafe for you (such as a history of seizures, metal implants in your head, or claustrophobia)

This trial tests a brain-training program for people with opioid use disorder. It uses an EEG headset to measure brain activity while you do computer exercises, and aims to see if this training can help recovery.
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 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 studies whether deep brain stimulation (a device that delivers small electrical signals to the brain) can reduce cravings and improve symptoms in adults with opioid use disorder. You may be eligible if you have a long history of opioid dependence and have tried multiple treatment options without lasting success.
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.
