“This trial will inform us if focused ultrasound could change the way some patients feel about cocaine,” said principal investigator Nassima Ait-Daoud Tiouririne, MD, the director of UVA’s Center for Leading Edge Addiction Research . “What if we could reverse brain changes caused by drug use?

Overdose deaths jumped by a third from 2019 to 2020 alone.
