Filter by:A placebo-controlled trial in which male and female outpatients with an opioid use disorder who express interest in extended-release injectable naltrexone (XR-NTX) are randomized 1:1 to lofexidine/pregabalin or lofexidine/pregabalin placebo for withdrawal management and offered XR-NTX if after completing withdrawal.
Tramadol abuse is a public health problem in Egypt. There are no approved medications for treatment of withdrawal symptoms or prevention of relapse in patients with tramadol abuse. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of venlafaxine and lofixidine in treating the withdrawal symptoms and to compare between venlafaxine and naltrexone in relapse prevention of tramadol abuse. Patients with tramadol abuse will be divided randomly to use venlafaxine or lofixidine after discontinuation of tramadol. The efficacy will be measured by the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale. The medications will be used for 10 days after discontinuation of tramadol. After the detoxification stage, patients who used venlafaxine will continue to use it while patients who used lofixidine will use naltrexone during the relapse prevention phase (2 months).
Study DMX-IB 201 is a Phase 1/2a study of ibogaine consisting of an initial single ascending dose escalation stage to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or treat-to-target dose (TTD) in healthy volunteers, followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled proof of concept stage to demonstrate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the selected dose in opioid-dependent patients who seek medically supervised opioid withdrawal
This is a prospective pilot study to investigate the effects of Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS) on symptoms of opioid withdrawal in pediatric patients in the intensive care unit.
This study has an experimental design and will examine the difference in pre-test and post-test data on the Self-Forgiveness Dual Process Scale (SFDPS) (Griffin, Worthington, Davis, Hook, & Maguen, 2018) and the Substance Abuse Self-Stigma Scale (SASSS) (Luoma et al., 2013). Data will be collected from two groups of participants receiving counseling at the short-term rehabilitation facility located at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's (UPMC). Individuals who agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (EG) or the control group (CG). Data collected will include pre-test SFDPS and SASSS scores for the EG and the CG (collected within 24-hours of admission), and post-test SFDPS and SASSS scores for the EG and CG (collected after 14 days). ANCOVA will be used to analyze the pre-test and post-test data recorded from participants' scores.
This is a pilot study to collect preliminary data to support a grant application. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and generically-available medication buspirone reduces symptoms of opioid withdrawal among patients undergoing a clinically-indicated and supervised taper from their opioid pain medications. This is premised on strong preclinical scientific support but has not yet be well-examined in humans.
This project aims at examining the following hypotheses: - Treatment with NADA and clonidine reduces intensity of withdrawal symptoms to a greater extent than treatment with clonidine. - Opioid withdrawal improves pain, physical and mental functioning and reduces opioid consumption 3 months and 1 year after withdrawal.
The investigators propose to develop a smartphone app (called BetterOFF) that will help patients manage opioid withdrawal during opioid medication taper and detoxification. The BetterOFF smartphone intervention will be a resource patients can access anytime and anywhere. If the BetterOFF intervention were to be effective in helping patients discontinue opioid medication, it could be integrated into the standard of care of office-based clinical practices, as well as substance use programs, thereby having a substantial public health impact.
This is an open-label, randomized, 2-sequence, cross-over study evaluating the difference of efficacy between ear acupressure alone and ear acupressure plus electroacupuncture therapy both combined with methadone treatment services for heroin addicts.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how the study drug, methadone, prescribed by an infant's or child's physician as part of standard medical care, is processed in children and young adults. While this drug is used extensively in infants and children, it has not been extensively studied in this population. Physicians do not have very much information on how long it takes for methadone to be removed from the blood circulation and passed out of the body. Physicians need more information to guide how much and how often we should give methadone to children/young adults to ensure they get the maximum effect with the minimum amount of drug. During this research study, the study team will collect information about how this drug is processed in infants and children.
