Summary
This trial is investigating if a treatment targeting the OFC/dSTR connectivity will reduce compulsive reward-seeking behavior in patients with a history of opioid abuse and suicidal ideation.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-60 with active suicidal thoughts, enrolled in The Menninger Clinic, experiencing depression, and have used opioids. They must understand the study and consent to participate. Women can't be pregnant or nursing. Participants cannot have metal implants that interfere with MRI or TMS procedures.
What is being tested?
The study tests if Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, affects brain connectivity related to compulsive behavior and mood control in opioid users with suicidal tendencies compared to sham (fake) treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
rTMS may cause discomfort at the stimulation site, headache, lightheadedness, or seizures in rare cases. It's generally considered safe but might not be suitable for those sensitive to magnetic fields.
