Brain stimulation for opioid recovery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses a gentle magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help people who are already in treatment for alcohol or opioid addiction. The goal is to see if adding rTMS can reduce cravings and improve recovery.
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.
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 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.
