RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL
Brain Training for Substance Use Disorders
About This Trial
Participants play games designed to train visual attention towards natural, non-drug-related scenarios. A biofeedback loop between gameplay and an electroencephalogram (EEG) system monitors game performance and guides game difficulty.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
OUD patient participants:
- Admitted into chemical treatment with opioid use being a reason for treatment;
- DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of OUD;
- Ability to provide willing to sign a consent form;
- A minimum of a 6th grade reading level; and
- Able and willing to provide own contact information for follow-up visit(s).
Control participants:
- Age- and gender-matched to an OUD patient participant in the study;
- Ability to provide willing to sign a consent form;
- A minimum of a 6th grade reading level;
- Able and willing to provide own contact information for follow-up visit(s).
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
OUD patient participants:
- Refusal or inability to consent;
- Pregnant;
- History of serious neurological illness (e.g., Chronic seizure disorder, Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome, Epilepsy, Any history of seizures not caused by withdrawal from substances, Other \[please specify\]);
- Inability to see text and photos clearly on the computer display; and
- Unwillingness to change hairstyle (e.g., braids, pony tails, dreadlocks) or remove wig to accommodate application of the EEG headset, if necessary.
Control participants:
- Refusal or inability to consent;
- Pregnant;
- History of serious neurological illness (e.g., Chronic seizure disorder, Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome, Epilepsy, Any history of seizures, Other \[please specify\]);

Treatments Being Tested
DEVICE
Bias Modification Biofeedback
The device uses EEG-based bias modification biofeedback intended to reduce attention to drug-related cues and increase attention to non-drug pleasant scenes. Specifically, the device measures perceptual biases from Event-Related Potential biomarkers related to Substance Use Disorders.
