Filter by:This single arm pilot feasibility study will evaluate the implementation of overnight infant respite care and parenting skills to mothers with substance use disorders in the early postpartum period residing in residential substance use disorder treatment programs.
This is a clinical study to implement and evaluate a hospital-wide, operational intervention for a real-time natural language processing (NLP)-driven clinical decision support (CDS) tool, called Substance Misuse Algorithm for Referral to Treatment Using Artificial Intelligence (SMART-AI). The SMART-AI CDS tool will be evaluated via implementation in the UW Health electronic health record (EHR). The CDS tool is meant for screening inpatient adults for opioid misuse as part of a best practice alert to nurses and providers for addiction consult service needs.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a program meant to enhance Counseling for Harm Reduction and Retention in MAT in Cherokee Nation (CHaRRM-CN). The main questions it aims to answer are whether CHaRRM-CN: improves retention of patients in MAT, decreases substance-related harm and illicit opioid use, and increases cultural connectedness. After providing written, informed consent, participants will attend a baseline assessement and will then be randomized to either the CHaRRM-CN or treatment as usual group. For 6 months after randomization, participants will be exposed to CHaRRM-CN or treatment as usual. During that time, participants will also attend the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month follow-ups to track their progress through the programs. After the 6 months of either treatment condition, investigators will compare the groups to see if they differ on retention, substance-use outcomes and Native enculturation.
This study plans to enroll participants with opioid use disorder who are not currently seeking treatment to assess the effects of cannabis on opioid withdrawal and other related outcomes.
The purpose of this an open-label, randomized controlled trial study is to compare the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes/e-cigs) versus telehealth motivational counseling with combination nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) + telehealth counseling on combustible cigarettes smoking reduction among persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) in methadone and buprenorphine treatment programs (opioid use disorder treatment programs (OUDTP)). OUDTP patients are a population with exceptionally high combustible cigarettes smoking burden and yet limited success in achieving meaningful clinical outcomes in tobacco treatment. If effective, electronic cigarettes would provide an additional tool for tobacco harm reduction among this difficult-to-treat vulnerable population.
A major challenge to seeking treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is the withdrawal symptoms associated with cessation of opioid use. The signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal include irritability, anxiety, muscular and abdominal pains, chills, nausea, diarrhea, yawning, runny eyes and nose, sweating, sneezing, weakness, and insomnia. The current gold standard of treatment involves a gradual reduction of the opioid drug dosage (tapering). However, as all opioids have potential for abuse and require careful dosing due to side effects (e.g., respiratory depression), a non-opioid medication to facilitate withdrawal severity would be of great value. Commonly used non-opioid medications like lofexidine have concerning side effects including sedation and low blood pressure. BioXcel Therapeutics has developed BXCL501 (dexmedetomidine: sublingual film) to reduce symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal. Dexmedetomidine is currently used as an intravenous anesthetic for its anxiety-reducing, sedative, and analgesic properties. The current study will seek to compare the safety and efficacy of BXCL501 relative to lofexidine and placebo in subjects with OUD who are physically dependent on opioids. Throughout a 7-day inpatient withdrawal period (using a methadone taper) opioid-dependent participants will receive sublingual BXCL501, placebo, or lofexidine. In comparison to lofexidine, dexmedetomidine is expected to have a superior safety profile with limited adverse effects on blood pressure and heart rhythm. Three sites will participate in this study: NYSPI, Clinilabs, Inc., and Yale University.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of auricular acupressure to the typical pharmacological regimen given to patients on the chronic pain/addiction service will lower pain scores and decrease pain medication usage.
This study aims to investigate pain management and satisfaction following orthognathic surgery, which is a type of surgery that corrects jaw and facial bone issues. This type of surgery can result in significant post-operative pain for participants, and the goal of this study is to find a way to manage this pain in a more effective and safe manner. The study will focus on the use of opioid pain medication and will compare two groups: one group will receive a standardized prescription plan. In contrast, the other group will receive a personalized prescription with a plan to taper the opioid medication. In the end, any unused opioid will be compared at the end of the 7-day post-discharge period between the two groups. This is important because excessive opioid prescription can either be diverted to the community or can be misused leading to opioid use disorders. Data will be collected from pre-surgery appointments, during the surgery and hospital stay, and follow-up appointments. The data collected will include participants' demographics, medical history, type of surgery, and information about the pain medication used. The study hypothesizes that the personalized prescription plan will result in less unused medication and higher satisfaction with pain management compared to the standardized prescription plan. The study will also stratify the participants into single-jaw surgery and double-jaw surgery groups to evaluate if any differences in the outcomes are observed. This study will help to provide guidance for future pain management practices for participants undergoing orthognathic surgery. Furthermore, this study will also benefit society by providing insights into addressing the opioid crisis that is currently affecting many communities across North America.
Extended-release buprenorphine (SUBLOCADE®) injection is currently approved for subcutaneous administration in 4 different quadrants of the abdomen for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Injection locations are rotated to minimize irritation. Having 1 or more alternate injection sites is desirable for patients who may be taking SUBLOCADE for extended durations, based upon clinical response. The primary objective of this study is to assess the relative bioavailability of extended-release buprenorphine when administered at alternative injection locations (test treatments), in comparison to the abdomen (reference treatment).
This work will involve conducting a randomized trial that will evaluate preliminary efficacy of "assisted" rate cycling, voluntary rate cycling and psychotherapy for pain individually and in combination as adjunctive treatments on cravings (primary outcome) in adults with an opioid use disorder. The investigators will also evaluate the effects of "assisted" rate cycling, voluntary rate cycling and I-STOP on secondary outcomes including depression, anxiety and sleep.
