Rambam uses noninvasive brain tech to rapidly curb opioid addiction

TL;DR Summary
Doctors at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa used Insightec's noninvasive brain stimulation to target the nucleus accumbens and rapidly detox a 40-year-old patient from opioid dependence—reducing cravings to zero in about 20 minutes and yielding negative opioid tests a week later. The procedure, part of a multicenter U.S. trial, shows potential for treating other addictions and brain disorders, offering a safer, faster alternative to traditional detox methods.
