A Project to Test the Efficacy and Safety of An Innovative Treatment for Opiate Use Disorders.
Sponsor: MindLight, LLC
Summary
Investigators will test, for safety and efficacy, a novel treatment for opiate addiction that applies a 4-minute treatment of intense near infra-red light to stimulate a side of the brain that the investigators determine to be healthier, more mature, and less traumatized. Investigators will compare among actively using participants an active and a sham treatment given either once or twice weekly for 25-weeks at 2 sites. Investigators hope this will lead to a significant weapon in the battle against the opioid epidemic as well as lead to psychological and physiological insights into possible relations among trauma, cerebral laterality, and addiction.
