Efficacy of continuous theta burst stimulation - repetitive trancranial magnetic stimulation on the orbito frontal cortex as an adjunct to naltrexone in patients of opioid use disorder and its correlation with serum BDNF levels: a sham-controlled study.

Opoid use disorder (OUD) is a global illness and reduction in craving by repeatative Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (RTMS) is one of its management approaches. Orbito-frontal Cortex is implicated in the several behavioral aspects of substance use including craving. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a critical role in addictive properties of drugs of use.
