Filter by:The Houston Emergency Response Opioid Engagement System for Youths and Adolescents (Young HEROES) is a community-based research program integrating assertive outreach, medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), behavioral counseling, and peer recovery support. The objective is to compare differences in engagement and retention in treatment for individuals with opioid use disorder. The investigators also intend to understand the prevalence of opioid overdoses and OUD among youth in Houston.
This project will adapt and pilot a feasible and effective problem-solving therapy designed for low-resource settings to address common mental disorders like depression and anxiety - the Friendship Bench- in a Vietnamese population of individuals living with HIV who also have opiate use disorder. The Friendship Bench approach has the potential to make an important contribution to address CMDs and reduce barriers to HIV treatment success among people living with HIV (PLWH) with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), a critical population driving the HIV epidemic in Vietnam and many Southeast Asian countries. This proposal will generate critical evidence for designing a fully powered clinical trial to test the investigation team's adapted FB protocol in improving HIV, mental health, and drug use treatment outcomes for this vulnerable population.
HOMER is a national study comparing three methods of induction for Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD); home versus office versus telehealth-based inductions. This study will help determine if certain patient and practice characteristics make patients better candidates for one method over the others. Results will help fill a gap in the evidence around effectively treating OUD with MAT in primary care settings.
HOPE is a randomized clinical trial that will evaluate approaches to reducing pain and opioid use among patients with chronic pain who are receiving maintenance hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease. The hypothesis is that pain coping skills training will be effective at reducing pain and opioid use, and that buprenorphine will be acceptable and tolerable as an approach to managing physical dependence on opioids in this patient population.
In terms of research, it is documented that exercise has a positive effect on mental disorders. Studies have shown positive correlations between physical and mental health, also among substance users. Such a study has never been performed on patients in opioid substitution therapy (OST). Documentation on the physical health of patients and the effect of exercise is very limited. Treatment of substance users is a research area with insufficient knowledge about certain treatment effects. It is important that a treatment can both support and promote the user's own resources and efforts to change their habits of substance use. The objective of this project is to examine the effect of exercise for OST patients, measured in relation to cognitive function and physical form. The target group consists of OST patients from 18 years of age and up, of both sexes, and on stable medication. At least 60 participants should complete the project, which is designed as a controlled randomized study (RCT). Participants in the intervention group start to exercise immediately after baseline testing. Participants in the control group are on a waiting list and will start to exercise after twelve weeks. Both groups undergo testing at baseline, after three, six and 12 months. Testing consists of two parts: A battery of cognitive and psychosocial assessments and an assessment of physical variables. The research questions of this project are important in a public health perspective. Generated knowledge can be quickly applied to local treatment institutions in Norway.
Evaluate opioid use and pain change in chronic Low Back Pain with DuoTherm Compared to Active Control
The current study piloted two psychosocial interventions developed to increase buprenorphine-naloxone adherence in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). Participants were randomized to receive either contingency management (CM) or a brief substance free activities session plus mindfulness (BSM) cognitive-behavioral intervention. Participants were 48 newly presenting patients from an OUD treatment clinic. The primary outcome was medication adherence, as measured by buprenorphine metabolite in urine and presence at 2 or more of 4 possible physician visits.
This study will assess the efficacy of the modified Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (mABC) Intervention, adapted for use with peripartum mothers receiving medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. The investigators expect that mothers who receive the modified Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up Intervention will show more nurturing and sensitive parenting and more adaptive physiological regulation than parents who receive a control intervention. The investigators expect that infants whose mothers receive the modified Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up will show better outcomes in attachment, behavior, and physiological regulation than infants of parents who receive the control intervention.
This study will investigate the mechanisms of cognitive-behavioral response to medications used for relapse prevention in opioid use disorder (opioid addiction, OUD), through investigation of the neural circuits underlying key cognition functions. The study will use previously validated cognitive probes, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and novel extended-release injectable preparations of opioid partial agonist buprenorphine and antagonist naltrexone, in OUD patients to explain the individual heterogeneity of OUD treatment response.
This study is a single ascending dose (SAD) study conducted to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of INDV-2000. After completion of the SAD portion of the study and acceptable safety evaluation, a food-interaction, single-dose study under fed and fasted conditions will be conducted.
