Opioid use disorder (OUD) has been linked to macroscopic structural alterations in the brain. The monthly injectable, extended-release formulation of μ-opioid antagonist naltrexone (XR-NTX) is highly effective in reducing opioid craving and preventing opioid relapse. Here, we investigated the neuroanatomical effects of XR-NTX by examining changes in cortical thickness during treatment for OUD. Forty-seven OUD patients underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging and subjectively rated their opioid craving ≤1 day before (pre-treatment) and 11 ± 3 days after (on-treatment) the first XR-NTX injection. A sample of fifty-six non-OUD individuals completed a single imaging session and served as the comparison group. A publicly available [¹¹C]carfentanil positron emission tomography dataset was used to assess the relationship between changes in cortical thickness and μ-opioid receptor (MOR) binding potential across brain regions. We found that the thickness of the medial prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices (mPFC/aCC; regions with high MOR binding potential) was comparable between the non-OUD individuals and the OUD patients at pre-treatment. However, among the OUD patients, mPFC/aCC thickness significantly decreased from pre-treatment to on-treatment. A greater reduction in mPFC/aCC thickness was associated with a greater reduction in opioid craving. Taken together, our study suggests XR-NTX-induced cortical thickness reduction in the mPFC/aCC regions in OUD patients. The reduction in thickness does not appear to indicate a restoration to the non-OUD level but rather reflects XR-NTX's distinct therapeutic impact on an MOR-rich brain structure. Our findings highlight the neuroplastic effects of XR-NTX that may inform the development of novel OUD interventions.
