Filter by:Opioid use disorder (OUD) represents one of the most severe public health crises, with more than 2 million individuals affected in the United States. Existing treatments do not target and restore several key alterations triggering opioid craving and relapse, including increased response to stress, mood disturbances and greater sensitivity to pain, which are caused by prolonged exposure to opioids. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will investigate the effects that palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), an endogenous molecule part of the endocannabinoid system available as a dietary supplement, exerts on these alterations and their underlying mechanisms, with the goal of identifying a novel therapeutic approach to reduce craving and prevent relapse in patients with OUD.
This study will integrate mobile hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and treatment with expanded syringe access in order to improve uptake of HCV testing and treatment, and reduce syringe sharing behavior in rural northern New England. The intervention aims to reach rural opioid injectors with HCV and to fill service gaps identified around access to syringe services and HCV testing and treatment, while limiting the burden on local partners. If effective, this mobile model of HCV telehealth integrated with syringe services will provide a promising approach for local public health authorities seeking to curb opioid injection, syringe sharing and HCV rates in rural America, and reduce the risk environment for HIV outbreaks in those communities.
This study is designed to track brain functional changes in individuals with i) chronic back pain + opioid use (CBP+O) and individuals with ii) chronic back pain + opioid misuse disorder (CBP+mOUD) following a brief drug delay and re-exposure manipulation. Re-exposure could be placebo, the participant's own opioid dose, or a dopaminergic treatment (DA+NSAID). The participants will be also evaluated for changes in cognition, emotion, and motor abilities with opioid delay and re-exposure to placebo, opioid, or DA+NSAID.
Investigators propose to conduct a pilot single-blind, parallel arm, randomized placebo-controlled trial evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of bright light therapy on reward system functioning among patients undergoing medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
This study will evaluate whether once versus twice daily dosing of methadone will be an effective method for managing comorbid pain and opioid use disorder.
The purpose of this study is to test whether low-dose buprenorphine initiation for treatment of opioid use disorder is safe and effective.
This study proposes to examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NYX-783 50 mg and 150 mg versus Placebo (PBO) in combination with acute Oxycodone 15 mg and 30 mg in an inpatient randomized, cross-over study in non-treatment seeking non-dependent, opioid experienced individuals with current recreational use.
The COVID-19 pandemic puts individuals recovering from opioid use disorders (OUDs), an already vulnerable population, at increased risk of overdose due to decreased access to treatment, decreased social support, and increased psychosocial stress. This proposal will test the efficacy of a promising mobile app-based peer support program, compared to usual care, in increasing recovery capital, improving retention in treatment, and reducing psychosocial adverse effects, among a national sample of people in recovery from OUD. If effective, it would provide an accessible, personalized, and scalable approach to OUD recovery increasingly needed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The purpose of this study is to help Veterans who have opioid use problems with gaining and maintaining meaningful employment. The investigators also want to know employment helps with other aspects of the Veteran's life including starting and staying on necessary medications, mental health needs, and feeling a part of society.
Evaluate the feasibility of implementing workplace opioid guidelines in the construction trades; define and collect measures of implementation and efficacy. The investigators will implement the intervention in three local union health funds, evaluate the implementation using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, and collect the data needed to measure the efficacy of health changes due to implementation of the intervention (workplace opioid guidelines). This is only a feasibility trial in preparation for conducting an randomized control trial. For the efficacy trial, the investigators will measure pre-post health change using two data sources: 1) administrative health claims and electronic member work hours, and 2) worker/member surveys. To monitor implementation of the intervention, the investigators will measure changes made to the health funds opioid prevention program through qualitative interviews with the health fund manager and through worker surveys for worker awareness and use of the health fund program changes pre-post implementation. The efficacy outcomes for the administrative health (and pharmacy) claims and work hours record will measure opioid prescriptions, chronic opioid use, and OUD in health claims and pharmacy data (details below). The efficacy outcomes for the worker surveys will record changes in misuse of opioids, change in missed days/work productivity, change in attitudes toward seeking help if worker was struggling with opioid misuse, and awareness and use of health fund programs (i.e. employee assistance programs, healthcare recovery services). the investigators will collect data at baseline and and after 6 months for the study of implementation and efficacy (a pre/post design, one-arm trial).
