Margaret Angus Patterson (9 November 1922 – 25 July 2002) was a Scottish surgeon and medical missionary who developed a method for treating drug addiction she called "neuro-electric therapy" (NET). While the therapy gained public attention through celebrity endorsements, it was initially met with skepticism by the medical community due to a lack of formal evidence. However, modern clinical trials have since validated the approach, finding that a device based on her principles is effective for reducing opioid withdrawal symptoms and leading to FDA market clearance.
