This study tests a new type of brain stimulation that adapts to your brain activity, aiming to reduce cravings and help you control opioid use. It is for people with long-standing opioid use disorder who have not gotten lasting relief from at least 3 treatment attempts, including medication.
This study uses MRI scans over time to track brain changes in people with opioid use disorder who recently started methadone treatment. You can help researchers understand recovery patterns if you are early in your methadone journey and can commit to repeated visits.
This study uses brain scans to understand how methadone or buprenorphine treatment affects the brain, with the goal of helping people stay in treatment and avoid relapse. You would need to be recently started on one of these medications and be able to undergo MRI scans.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) and MRI to look at how a protein in the brain, called CB1 (part of the body's natural pain and reward system), changes when people start treatment for opioid use disorder. It may help doctors understand how buprenorphine works and improve addiction treatments.
This study uses brain scans to see how men with methamphetamine use disorder react to images or reminders of the drug. It aims to understand cravings and brain activity, which could help improve treatments.
This study tests if adding a mindfulness program (MORE) to regular methadone treatment helps people with long-term pain. It may improve pain and support recovery.
