Filter by:The purpose of this study is to conduct empiric studies of tuberculosis (TB) among people in prison with and without a history of opioid dependence. This includes: a) comprehensive TB diagnostic study (symptom screening, chest x-ray, tuberculin skin test, acid-fast bacilli smear, Gene Xpert, and sputum culture) to determine best practices for screening HIV+ and HIV- prisoners; b) A RCT of latent TB infection prevention strategies among HIV+ and HIV- prisoners with high prevalence of hepatitis C (HCV) using standard 40-week daily isoniazid (40H) vs short-course weekly isoniazid + rifapentine (12HR); and c) a 2-arm preference trial comparing post-release TB treatment completion in patients on opioid agonist treatment (methadone) vs no opioid agonist treatment in patients being treated for active or latent TB, or patients with no TB, who are transitioning to the community. Investigators will also use this data, and publicly available data to complete agent-based modeling for comparative and cost-effectiveness of various TB screening and treatment strategies among prisoners, and upon community transition post-release from prison.
The aims of the study are to compare the effectiveness and postoperative outcomes of liposomal bupivacaine vs plain bupivacaine following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The investigators' hypothesis is that liposomal bupivacaine will decrease the postoperative pain and will be associated with more favorable postoperative outcomes when compared to plain bupivacaine following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether prednisolone lowers intensity and frequency of craving in heroin-addicted subjects undertaking a detoxification of cocaine and/or heroin.
The study will test the efficacy of a hour long, one-on-one, active listening counseling session (called Change the Cycle or CTC) aimed at reducing behaviors among active people who inject drugs (PWID) that research has found to facilitate uptake of injection drug use among non-injectors. The study will involve ~1,100 PWID who will be randomized to CTC or an equal attention control intervention on improving nutrition. Participants will be recruited in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California and followed up at 6 and 12 months to determine changes in direct and indirect facilitation of injection initiation among non-injectors.
Many buprenorphine treatment programs do not have services dedicated to adolescents and young adults. As a precursor to developing and evaluating an adolescent and young adult buprenorphine treatment program at APT Foundation Inc, we propose to conduct a 1 year prospective study of 16 to 25 year old treatment-seeking individuals enrolled in the APT Adolescent and Young Adult Suboxone Program
The purpose of this open-label pilot study is to determine the tolerability and applicability of outpatient long-acting injectable naltrexone (Vivitrol) treatment in individuals age 16-25 ("older youth") with opioid use disorder. Outpatient treatment will consist of a 7-day outpatient detoxification / naltrexone induction procedure followed by 8-weeks of treatment with Vivitrol.
This study will compare the effects of brief strengths-based case management (SBCM) to the effects of screening, assessment and referral alone (SAR) in opioid-dependent patients. Participants meeting DSM-IV criteria for opioid dependence will be randomly assigned (150 per group) to receive 1) up to 6 sessions of SBCM; or 2) SAR. Follow-up assessments will be completed at 3 and 6 months, by staff who are blinded to treatment condition.
Purpose: The purpose of this research study is to learn whether oxytocin treatment decreases use of and cravings for opioids (narcotics) in people who have been using opioids heavily for long periods of time and are unable to stop on their own. Participants: Patients meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria for opioid dependence. Procedures (methods): Subjects will have standard medications available for withdrawal symptoms from opioids and standard psychosocial interventions available in the inpatient setting. In addition, subjects will self-administer intranasal test treatments 3 times daily.
A randomized, double blind, active controlled study in approximately 40 opioid dependent subjects. Study duration is up to five days and includes a maximum of 3 days confinement in the clinic. Opioid dependent subjects who provide informed consent meet all entry criteria are eligible for enrollment into the study.
Patients with opioid use disorder seeking medication-assisted treatment will be recruited. Each participant will be allocated to one of the two study groups with the equal chance of receiving either opium tincture (OT) or methadone. Participants, clinical and research staff will not be aware of the medication that each patient receives. This study aims to test whether OT is as equally effective as methadone at retaining participants with opioid use disorder in medication-assisted treatment.
