Study Summary

The relapsing nature of opioid use disorder is a major obstacle to successful treatment. About 90% of those entering treatment will relapse within one year. To improve treatment outcome, new interventions targeting the underlying brain biomarkers of relapse vulnerability hold significant promise in reducing this critical public health problem. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that can modulate brain connectivity.

Primary Outcome

Investigators will measure magnitude of functional connectivity in between nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) both at baseline and at follow-up and compare the magnitude of change between the active-tDCS and sham-tDCS groups.
