About this study

Researchers are testing whether adding buprenorphine, CBT, and TMS to long-term opioid therapy can improve outcomes for people with chronic pain. The trial will evaluate three interventions: a low dose of buprenorphine without withdrawal, a brief Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI), and accelerated rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Participants will be followed for 1692 days.
