Brain stimulation for depression and opioid addiction
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
