Filter by:This is a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of daily supplementation with Root.Health, a plant-based dietary supplement, on reducing levels of 11 abnormal urine biomarkers associated with chronic pain. Biomarkers are molecules found in blood, tissues, or other body fluids (such as urine) that indicate normal or abnormal processes.
The goal of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized waitlist-controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of substituting the NIDA standardized research e-cigarette (SREC) for combusted cigarettes in MOUD-TUD who are not ready to quit smoking. A waitlist controlled RCT using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design will investigate the impact of SREC provision on: 1) tobacco use behavior (e.g., cigarettes per day [primary outcome], SREC use), 2) biomarkers (e.g., carbon monoxide, anabasine), 3) cigarette dependence and withdrawal, and 4) short-term health effects and tolerability (e.g., respiratory symptoms, substance use). In the proposed RCT, N=40 adults stable on MOUD with buprenorphine who report daily smoking recruited from MGH primary care practices will be randomly assigned to receive the SREC for 8 weeks, either immediately (iSREC), or after an 8-week delay (waitlist control [WLC]). They will be followed an additional 4 weeks after SREC provision ends (to 12 weeks in iSREC and 20 weeks in WLC).
The purpose of this study is to observe and assess the successful taper and opioid withdrawal experience after participants stop receiving SUBLOCADE because their healthcare provider determines their disease symptoms have been controlled for at least 9 months and they, together with their healthcare provider, plan to discontinue MOUD.
Public libraries nationwide are facing an on-premise opioid overdose crisis. Many persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) remained unhoused and profoundly hard to reach. This study innovatively develops and tests a telemedicine intervention delivered through public libraries to increase unstably housed individuals' access to bupe treatment that would prevent overdoses from occurring in the first place. The investigators will conduct a 12-week pilot 2-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) (n=40). Research staff will recruit library patrons and randomize them to weekly telehealth at the library or in-person clinic control arms across two participating libraries in San Diego.
This study will provide the opportunity to generate data on the long-term use of SUBLOCADE under real-world conditions, and to observe enduring changes in lifestyle, health, and sociodemographic factors that are part of the recovery process. Long-term patterns of abstinence/opioid misuse as well as measures of participants' physical, psychological, social, and economic well-being will be monitored to better understand factors associated with recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD). Therefore, this study will observe participants up to a maximum of 4 years.
This study will evaluate the feasibility of an app that provides drug information to people in recovery from opioid use disorder. This study is designed to test the prototype app, not to determine health outcomes. The study will confirm the design and operating specifications prior to being evaluated in a larger clinical trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot an adaptable, user-friendly, web-accessible toolkit and implementation strategy for jails to be able to provide access to pregnancy-specific opioid use disorder (OUD) care. The main question it aims to answer is: - What support and tools do jails that vary in size, resources, and health care delivery systems need for pregnancy care that can be tailored to the environment? Jail staff will use the implementation resource to provide care to pregnant people in and leaving custody through facilitated guidance. While using the resource, jail staff will: - Complete 6-month and 12-month surveys assessing the participants use of the tool - Complete baseline, 6-month, and 12-month qualitative interviews assessing the participants perspectives on using the tool - Report de-identified jail outcomes data monthly on the pregnant people in the jail's care - Report jail policy and financial data as it pertains to pregnant people with OUD at baseline Pregnant people with OUD in custody at pilot jails will be asked to participate in qualitative interviews as baseline and 1- and 6 months after release to assess the participants perspectives on the care received in jail and continuity of care.
A pre-post, single-group, quasi-experimental design will be used to determine the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of a theory-based, 8-week/16-session virtual Tai Chi Easy (vTCE) intervention for adults with OUD, anxiety, and chronic pain. This dissertation has three Aims: 1) Determine the feasibility of an 8-week/16-session, vTCE intervention for adults with OUD, CP, and anxiety; 2) Determine the perceptions of the vTCE intervention participants by conducting a focus group interview post-vTCE; 3) Explore within-subject changes in generalized anxiety, chronic pain intensity, opioid use, opioid cravings, and basic psychological needs post-vTCE.
Knee osteoarthritis is a major issue worldwide with limited treatment options. Many patients receive knee joint replacement surgery which is considered effective and safe. Nonetheless the period post-surgery is characterized by moderate to severe pain inhibiting early ambulation, motivation and range of motion, compromising rehabilitation, patient satisfaction, and overall outcomes. An optimal strategy of postoperative pain treatment after knee replacement surgery has not yet been established. Recently, our research center and others have shown that is possible to target the nerves surrounding the knee with a novel treatment called cryoneurolysis. Cryoneurolysis apply low temperatures [-20°C ; -100°C] to a target nerve, which disrupts nerve function and provides potential pain relief. This suggest a potential for cryoneurolysis to significantly improve rehabilitation, reduce opioid intake and overall outcomes after knee replacement surgery. The primary objective of the current project is to determine the effectiveness of cryoneurolysis in its proposed ability to reduce opioid intake and postoperative pain after knee replacement surgery. The study is a randomized controlled study with two groups. Group CRYO receives cryoneurolysis prior to knee replacement surgery and group SHAM receives a sham treatment prior to knee replacement surgery. Both groups receive surgery, analgesics and postoperative rehabilitation as per usual. Efficacy of treatment is evaluated using the change in opioid intake in the CRYO group compared to the SHAM group 14 days after knee replacement surgery. Participants will also be assessed at 90 and 180 days after knee replacement surgery and will include measures on pain, quality of life and function.
This study is being done to answer the question: what is the effect of Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) dosing on opioid withdrawal responses in individuals with a history of Opioid Use Disorders (OUDs)? Eligible participants will be in the study for one week in an inpatient research hospital stay, have an MRI scan, and have a follow-up call 1-3 months after their inpatient stay. Participants will complete several psychiatric questionnaires/interviews, physiological monitoring with several devices, brain imaging, and VNS testing.
