Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with opioid use disorder on methadone maintenance therapy, and associated with problems related to psychosocial functioning, medical and psychiatric health, and substance craving and use. Neuroimaging has strongly correlated pain processing with the medial prefrontal and dorsal anterior cingulate cortices. This study will investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using the H7 coil targeting these same brain areas for the treatment of chronic pain in patients on methadone maintenance therapy,and magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI/MRS) will be used to evaluate target engagement and mechanism.
