Filter by:This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 mechanistic clinical trial designed to evaluate the therapeutic neural mechanisms of psilocybin in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD), and to determine whether further studies are warranted to study the relationship of any such effects to clinical improvement in AUD symptoms. The primary aims are to evaluate the effects of psilocybin on AUD; measures will include 1) fMRI neural activation and functional connectivity, using a well-validated task to characterize neural and subjective response to negative affective and alcohol visual stimuli; 2) alcohol use data (self-report and blood biomarkers); and 3) self-report measures related the NE, IS, and EF domains.
This study will: (1) refine and finalize the SPEAR intervention manual for preventing alcohol use disorders (AUD) and associated harms for Pacific Islander young adults; and (2) test SPEAR for efficacy by conducting a pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial (RCT).
The goals of this Pilot Trial are to test the preliminary efficacy of Problom-Solving Therapy (PST)-APPLE Watch in a 2-arm pilot Randomized Control Trial (RCT), vs education only-control to reduce alcohol use disorder symptoms and improve alcohol abstinence.
This research will translate findings from preclinical research and provide the initial clinical evidence that orexin antagonism reduces motivation for alcohol, as well as other alcohol-associated maladaptive behaviors in people with Alcohol Use Disorder. This study will also provide basic science information about the orexinergic mechanisms underlying the pharmacodynamic effects of alcohol in humans. As such, the outcomes will contribute to our understanding of the clinical neurobiology of Alcohol Use Disorder. Overall, the proposed work seeks to expand the scope of current clinical neuroscience research on alcohol addiction by focusing on orexin, which has strong preclinical evidence supporting its critical role in addiction but remains unstudied in humans.
For this protocol, the investigators plan to collect pilot data to evaluate apremilast (60mg/day) in adults with Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD).
This is an observational, prospective case-control study evaluating the effects of an emergency department community health worker-peer recovery specialist program (PCHW), the Substance Misuse Assistance Response Team (SMART). Aims of this study are to 1) understand participant experiences working with a SMART PCHW and identify possible mechanisms for successful recovery linkage; 2) Evaluate SMART effectiveness on patient-centered outcomes, building recovery capital, and recovery linkage; 3) Evaluate SMART implementation and effectiveness on patient outcomes over time. Using a combination of surveys and data linkages to state administrative databases, study investigators will prospectively compare changes in addiction treatment engagement, recovery capital, health related social needs, acute care utilization, and death between people receiving a ED PCHW and those who do not. After consenting to study participation, participants will complete surveys at time of study enrollment and 3 and 6 months after their initial ED visit. Primary outcomes include engagement in addiction treatment, social services engagement, acute care utilization, and mortality will be assessed through linkages to state administrative databases.
Oral disulfiram (Antabuse®) has been shown to improve image-forming vision in animal models with retinal degeneration due to its ability to decrease Retinoic Acid synthesis and consequently reduce hyperactivity in the inner retina. The investigator will aim to evaluate the impact of oral disulfiram on the vision of patients with retinal degeneration who are being treated with the drug in the management of their concurrent alcohol use disorder.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a multidisciplinary digital clinic will improve health outcomes, reduce costs, increase access, and improve provider satisfaction. The primary aim of this study is to improve clinical outcomes in patients with ALD through the implementation of a novel digital health platform for personalized multi-disciplinary treatment of patients with ALD and AUD. Secondary aims include improvement in provider and patient-reported outcomes including satisfaction with AUD treatment.
The Systematic Implementation of Patient-centered Care for Alcohol Use Trial is a pragmatic, cluster-randomized, effectiveness-implementation trial testing two interventions to systematically implement shared decision-making with primary care patients with symptoms due to alcohol use: a primary care intervention and a centralized intervention. An anticipated 30 primary care clinics will be randomized to one of three conditions: usual care or the primary care or centralized interventions.
This protocol describes a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness and implementability of the CHESS Health Connections smartphone application among patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) at two medical centers in Michigan and Wisconsin, in two types of clinics: general hepatology and multidisciplinary that offers care for advanced ALD alongside co-located, integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment. The long-term goal of this and future work is to prevent disease progression and promote healthy behaviors by improving the rate of abstinence among patients with ALD earlier in the course of their disease. 298 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.
