Article Synopsis
- The study explored brain disorders, specifically hypoxia, among methadone users compared to opium users and a control group using MRI scans.
- Significant hypoxia was found in 16.7% of methadone users, while no hypoxia was detected in the other groups; MRI revealed abnormal brain imaging patterns within this subset.
- The researchers recommend routine MRI monitoring for methadone users, stricter regulations on non-prescription methadone, and better public health education to address misuse risks.
