Brain stimulation to help quit smoking for people with opioid use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to help adults who smoke heavily and are being treated for opioid use disorder quit smoking. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce cravings and make it easier to stop smoking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to target specific brain areas, can help reduce cravings and relapse in people with opioid use disorder who haven't found relief from other treatments.
This study looks at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain) might affect the brain's reward system in people who smoke. The goal is to understand how to help people quit smoking more effectively.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS can help people with psychiatric conditions quit smoking. You will be randomly assigned to get either rTMS or a nicotine patch, and your progress will be tracked to see which treatment works better.
This study tests whether brain stimulation can help with both depression and opioid cravings in people who are already taking buprenorphine for opioid addiction. It may offer an extra tool to improve your mood and reduce cravings.
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 whether a rapid form of brain stimulation (TMS) can help people stop smoking. It is designed for adults who are ready to quit within the next month.
