National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Trials

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) conducts clinical trials to research and test new treatments for substance use disorders. These studies help scientists understand how drugs affect the brain and body, and how different therapies can improve recovery outcomes. Participants in these trials may receive new medications or interventions under carefully controlled conditions. The goal is to develop effective strategies for preventing and treating addiction, ultimately improving public health and helping individuals struggling with drug-related issues to lead healthier lives.
