Abstract
Purpose of review: Although medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) are effective, relapse remains common. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has emerged as a potential adjunctive treatment. We review publications since 2020 that tested NIBS interventions in humans and assessed clinically relevant outcomes.
Recent findings: We identified a total of 19 studies of NIBS for treatment of craving; acute detoxification, withdrawal, and early abstinence; relapse prevention; cognitive dysfunction associated with OUD; mood and anxiety symptoms in OUD; co-occurring SUDs with OUD; and post-operative pain management and prevention of OUD.
Summary: NIBS interventions, particularly repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation have demonstrated preliminary evidence of effectiveness to treat OUD and its associated symptoms.
期刊介绍:
Under the leadership of Emil Coccaro, Current Behavioral Neuroscience Reports will provide an in-depth review of topics covering personality and impulse control disorders, psychosis, mood and anxiety disorders, genetics and neuroscience, geropsychiatry and cognitive disorders of late life, child and developmental psychiatry, addictions, and neuromodulation.We accomplish this aim by inviting international authorities to contribute review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. By providing clear, insightful balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the field of behavioral neuroscience.
