Rambam uses noninvasive brain tech to rapidly curb opioid addiction

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.
