Filter by:A global and integrative treatment of opioid-use disorders (OUD) with opiate maintenance therapy (OMT) and psychosocial interventions is recommended by all current guidelines. Treatment of OUD aim at prevents risks and consequences of opioid use (death by overdose, contamination with infectious diseases, mental and physical degradation, social exclusion and decrease of quality of life). OMT are approved since more than 20 years for OUD and a large number of patients have been treated. Nevertheless, identification of prognosis factors associated with good outcome is still limited. OMT duration, high dosages of OMT and patient good consistency have been identified as good prognosis factors but other individual factors could be involved and explain why OMT isn't as effective for all patients. The investigators assume that social environment, other addictive behaviors, psychiatric comorbidities, personality disorders and pharmacogenetics parameters might be of interest. Association between phenotype/ genotype, safety of OMT and therapeutic outcome will be especially assessed. For voluntary patients specific tools for risk reduction will be implemented (screening of infectious diseases with blood tests and fibrosis with fibroscan). Thus, the aim of TOPAZE study is to highlight prognosis factors for good outcome in the treatment of OUD moderate to severe at 12 months follow-up. Three main axes will be considered: clinical, pharmacological and pharmacogenetics.
Perinatal opioid use disorder (OUD) is a major health concern in the U.S. with significant impact on mothers, infants, and communities. Investigators at the University of Kentucky/UK HealthCare (UK) have developed a comprehensive clinical care model for perinatal OUD (known as UK-PATHways) that has demonstrated success in maternal and neonatal outcomes. The overreaching goals of the proposed project are to: 1) expand the reach of this successful clinical program, 2) to reduce the impact of perinatal OUD in underserved rural areas of our state, and 3) to compare the relative effectiveness methods of delivery active elements of the PATHways program for rural implementation (local group-support vs. UK nurse/counselor telemedicine)
This is a multi-center prospective comparative cohort study examining the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacogenomics of naltrexone for pregnant women with opioid use disorder. Pregnancy, delivery, and maternal and infant outcomes to 12 months post-delivery will be examined and compared with a cohort treated with buprenorphine/naloxone.
Individuals with opioid use disorder who are stabilized on buprenorphine or methadone will be randomly assigned to receive placebo or lofexidine for 5 weeks. At the end of five weeks, they will complete a human laboratory stress task and scripted opioid imagery task. Throughout the study a CREMA app (Cue Reactivity Ecological Momentary Assessment) will be used to monitor stress, craving and use in the natural environment.
The overarching goal of this investigation is to develop and determine the feasibility of a multi-component intervention adapted from a collaborative care framework initiated in the ED for patients at risk for opioid use disorder. This study will provide important feasibility information for future studies of ED-LINC. The collaborative care intervention (ED-LINC) will be supported by a novel Emergency Departement (ED) health information exchange platform.
Treating Opioid Patients' Pain and Sadness (TOPPS) focuses on the relationship of pain, depression, opioid and other substance misuse, and functioning. It has a structured agenda, uses behavioral activation, involves explicit and ongoing psychoeducation, and includes a behavioral health specialist (BHS) trained extensively in the nature of pain and opioid misuse, including how to assess for red flags of opioid relapse. Devised specifically for primary care patients receiving buprenorphine, TOPPS is collaborative (PCP, BHS, and patient) and focuses on pain and physical symptoms in order to decrease the need to turn to substance misuse to avoid pain, and to foster patient's abilities to achieve their long-term life goals. In this study, TOPPS is compared to a health education contact-control condition among 250 persons with opioid use disorder recruited from two primary care based buprenorphine programs. The investigators will provide both interventions over 3 months, and follow the patients for a total of 12 months in order to observe both short-term and longer-term effects of TOPPS.
Multicentre, prospective, observational, non-interventional, open- ended trial, collecting data from male and female patients aged ≥ 18 years, with a diagnosis of opioid addiction according to ICD-10 (F11.2), treated with therapeutic doses of levomethadone according to the routine medical practice.
In this study, the investigators will investigate if there is a better intervention for patients who present to the emergency department with an overdose or with symptoms consistent with drug use. There are currently two interventions that are routinely used when a patient comes to the Emergency Department with these criteria, and the investigators will compare the two. The first is when hospital social workers uses their own previous training to help people meet their goals. The second is when a person called a peer navigator, who is someone that has been in long-term drug recovery for over two years and has completed a lot of training to work with current drug users, delivers an intervention to current drug users and uses their own training and real- life experiences to help people meet their goals. The investigators hope to determine if patients have better outcomes if they work with one of these two groups. If a patient agrees to be in the study, the research staff will randomize them (like flipping a coin) to see if they will work with a social worker or a peer navigator. The research staff will distribute a survey in RedCap and the following information will be collected: age, sex, race, type of opioid used, and history of chronic pain, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. Once the patient is assigned to a group, they will work with their assigned interventionist for the duration of the study. After this, the research team will track the patient to see if they joined an addiction-treatment program within 30 days of when the joined the study. The study team will also track patients to see if they had additional emergency department visits, additional overdoses, and if they successfully completed a treatment program over an 18-month period. 650 patients will be enrolled into the study.
Effective control of chronic pain is a top priority in the United States, as approximately 10% of adults have severe chronic pain - most of which is chronic lower back pain (CLBP). However, despite the advances in neuroscience over the past 20 years, chronic pain is still largely treated with opiate narcotics, much as was done in the Civil War. In addition to the high abuse liability and dependence potential, only 30-40% of chronic pain patients declare they receive satisfactory (>50%) relief from their pain through pharmacological treatment. In these patients a common clinical practice is to escalate the dose of opiates as tolerance develops - which unfortunately has contributed to escalation in opiate overdose deaths, a resurgence of intravenous heroin use, and $55 billion in societal costs. Consequently there is a critical need for new, treatments that can treat pain and reduce reliance on opiates in individuals with chronic pain. Aim 1. Evaluate repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) as a tool to dampen pain and the engagement of the Pain Network. Hypothesis 1: DLPFC TMS will attenuate the baseline brain response to pain (Pain Network activity) and increase activity in the Executive Control Network (ECN) when the patient is given instructions to 'control' the pain. Aim 2. Evaluate Medial Prefrontal Cortex (MPFC) rTMS as a tool to dampen pain and the engagement of the Pain Network. Hypothesis 1: MPFC TMS will also attenuate the baseline brain response to pain (Pain Network activity) but will not effect the ECN or the Salience Network (SN) when the patient is given instructions to 'control' the pain.
Despite an increased focus on treating opioid use disorder there are relatively few studies that compare the length of time required for detoxification with medications other than buprenorphine. Morphine and tramadol have shorter half-lives than buprenorphine and can be used for opioid detoxification. The proposed protocol aims to address this gap by directly comparing the length of treatment required for detoxification from opioids in a patient-centered manner with oral morphine, tramadol, or buprenorphine-naloxone as well as comparing the severity of withdrawal experienced by patients in each group. The investigators predict that treatment with oral morphine or tramadol will result in a faster completion of detoxification and initiation of naltrexone maintenance.
