Filter by:This study aims to measure synaptic density in the brains (including in ventral striatum [VS] and medial prefrontal cortex [mPFC]) of abstinent subjects with Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD) or Opiate Use Disorder (OUD) as compared to healthy control (HC) subjects using 11C-UCB-J PET. Subjects will undergo a single 11C-UCB-J (also known as 11C-APP311) PET scan. This would be the very first to image synaptic density in human cocaine and opiate users, thereby testing whether altered synaptic density in the rodent brain is recapitulated in CUD and OUD humans. If confirmed, the current study would provide compelling clinical-translational support for an important pathophysiological mechanism of addiction - aberrant structural synaptic plasticity. As such, the current study has considerable potential for advancing the neurobiological understanding of human cocaine and opiate addiction.
The main purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of the study medication in the treatment of people with chronic hepatitis C virus infection who regularly attend a psychiatrist-staffed clinic for opiate addiction treatment.
This study aims to investigate the cognitive function of patients in the opioid reduction programme at the multidisciplinary pain centre at Zealand University Hospital Køge. The patients will be tested before, halfway through, and after the programme.
The purpose of this study is to see whether contingency management (CM) can be successfully added as an adjunct treatment to standard stop smoking services in outpatients undergoing treatment for opiate addiction. Forty tobacco smoking patients undergoing treatment for opiate addiction will be stratified to a CM intervention for either smoking abstinence or attendance at the clinic, whilst also receiving usual stop smoking services cessation treatment. The intervention will run for five weeks and participants will be followed up six months after the beginning of the study.
The SUBUSQOL cohort aimed to improve knowledge of the quality of ambulatory care, in particular the prognostic role of the early satisfaction with care on the change from baseline quality of self-reported health status in outpatients with alcohol or opioid dependence. It is a multicenter prospective cohort. Satisfaction was assessed using a multidimensional self-administered and validated questionnaire during the early care process. In addition to measuring satisfaction and obtaining sociodemographic and clinical data, this study collected data on the self-reported health status at inclusion and 3, 6 and 12 months after inclusion.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative exposures of lofexidine and its major metabolites in subjects seeking buprenorphine dose reduction.
This study is a collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Prison System, and the North East Treatment Center (NETSteps). It purpose is to study the impact of an injectable opiate addiction medication (extended release naltrexone) given before reentry into the community that might help to improve reconnection to healthcare and other support systems, and possibly help reduce recidivism.
Before starting treatment with XR-NTX, a medication that blocks the positive effects of opioids and helps people stay off opioids, individuals who are dependent on opioids first have to endure a difficult withdrawal process. This study aims to develop and test an intervention to help people who are opioid dependent successfully complete that transition; the investigators will also develop and test a comparison condition aimed at reducing HIV risk behavior.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the bioavailability of a test formulation of Buprenorphine Naloxone Sublingual (SL) spray to that of a single dose of Suboxone® (buprenorphine and naloxone) sublingual film, under fasted conditions.
Opiate dependence is a serious problem, and oxytocin has many properties which make it attractive as a treatment for this type of substance dependence. This experiment will test the effects of oxytocin on a variety of brain-based processes in patients with opiate dependence. The investigators hypothesize that intranasal oxytocin in these conditions will enhance emotional processing and will have beneficial effects on stress responses in opiate-dependent patients.
