Filter by:This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a supervised aerobic exercise program for persons with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Participants will be enrolled in a 12-week supervised aerobic exercise intervention.
The US opioid overdose epidemic has been accompanied by an increase in human immunodeficiency (HIV) among persons who inject drugs. HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an FDA approved medication taken daily orally by individuals who are HIV negative, but who are at increased risk for HIV. In order to obtain PrEP, a prescription is needed. Before being prescribed HIV PrEP, it is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to obtain an HIV test first. Although home HIV self-test kits are recommended by the CDC and are locally available, uptake remains low. CHORUS+ (Comprehensive HIV, Hepatitis C, and Opioid Use Disorder Response to the Unaddressed Syndemic +) is a theory-based, peer-delivered, mobile phone-supported intervention focused on enhancing uptake and adherence to HIV PrEP (primary outcome), and continuation of MOUD (secondary outcome) among persons who inject opioids. At recruitment, the intervention will include HIV self-testing, rapid initiation of PrEP and MOUD, and 6-month peer recovery coaching (PRC) to support adherence to these medications. This research study seeks to determine the efficacy of a novel intervention to increase the uptake of evidence-based measures to prevent HIV and treat opioid use disorder. The efficacy of this multi-site, two-arm randomized control trial of CHORUS+ and usual care [passive referral]. This study is not testing the efficacy of PrEP or HIV home testing which is already known. In addition the investigators will determine the influence of HIV self-testing on PrEP uptake and adherence. In the CHORUS+/ intervention arm, there will be a baseline in-person session with the participant to encourage uptake of PrEP and MOUD using motivational interviewing (MI).
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effects of an app to reduce opioid and cocaine use when layered atop methadone treatment as usual among people using both opioids and cocaine. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do people who use the app remain in methadone treatment longer than people who receive only treatment as usual? - Do people who use the app report using opioids and/or cocaine less often, and do they report better improvements in their quality of life, than people who receive only treatment as usual? - Does using the app more lead to better methadone treatment outcomes among people using the app? Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive either the app or methadone treatment as usual. Participants randomly assigned to the treatment as usual group will receive access to methadone services as normally provided, including scheduled access to medications, information about the consequences of opioid and other drug use, and any onsite services (including group based interventions and/or 12-step programs). Those randomized into the app-using group will receive all the same services as the treatment as usual group, but will also be given a phone with the app already installed, or will have the app installed on their existing phone if they already have one. At random times throughout the week, the app will ask participants to submit drug tests for opioids and cocaine, which participants will be able to do remotely without having to physically "go to" a testing site. For each test that demonstrates the participant hasn't used opioids or cocaine, the participant will be rewarded with money directly into a debit card. Participants will also be able to earn rewards for picking up treatment-related medications, attending onsite appointments, and other treatment-related activities.
Some research suggests that administration of oxytocin with oxycodone may reduce its abuse liability and improve its ability to reduce pain. In a 6-session laboratory study, we will be evaluating the effects of oxycodone and oxytocin (combined and separately, across sessions) on experimentally-induced pain, subjective effects, and decision-making.
This single arm pilot feasibility study will evaluate the implementation of overnight infant respite care and parenting skills to mothers with substance use disorders in the early postpartum period residing in residential substance use disorder treatment programs.
This is a clinical study to implement and evaluate a hospital-wide, operational intervention for a real-time natural language processing (NLP)-driven clinical decision support (CDS) tool, called Substance Misuse Algorithm for Referral to Treatment Using Artificial Intelligence (SMART-AI). The SMART-AI CDS tool will be evaluated via implementation in the UW Health electronic health record (EHR). The CDS tool is meant for screening inpatient adults for opioid misuse as part of a best practice alert to nurses and providers for addiction consult service needs.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a program meant to enhance Counseling for Harm Reduction and Retention in MAT in Cherokee Nation (CHaRRM-CN). The main questions it aims to answer are whether CHaRRM-CN: improves retention of patients in MAT, decreases substance-related harm and illicit opioid use, and increases cultural connectedness. After providing written, informed consent, participants will attend a baseline assessement and will then be randomized to either the CHaRRM-CN or treatment as usual group. For 6 months after randomization, participants will be exposed to CHaRRM-CN or treatment as usual. During that time, participants will also attend the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month follow-ups to track their progress through the programs. After the 6 months of either treatment condition, investigators will compare the groups to see if they differ on retention, substance-use outcomes and Native enculturation.
This study plans to enroll participants with opioid use disorder who are not currently seeking treatment to assess the effects of cannabis on opioid withdrawal and other related outcomes.
The purpose of this an open-label, randomized controlled trial study is to compare the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes/e-cigs) versus telehealth motivational counseling with combination nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) + telehealth counseling on combustible cigarettes smoking reduction among persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) in methadone and buprenorphine treatment programs (opioid use disorder treatment programs (OUDTP)). OUDTP patients are a population with exceptionally high combustible cigarettes smoking burden and yet limited success in achieving meaningful clinical outcomes in tobacco treatment. If effective, electronic cigarettes would provide an additional tool for tobacco harm reduction among this difficult-to-treat vulnerable population.
A major challenge to seeking treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is the withdrawal symptoms associated with cessation of opioid use. The signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal include irritability, anxiety, muscular and abdominal pains, chills, nausea, diarrhea, yawning, runny eyes and nose, sweating, sneezing, weakness, and insomnia. The current gold standard of treatment involves a gradual reduction of the opioid drug dosage (tapering). However, as all opioids have potential for abuse and require careful dosing due to side effects (e.g., respiratory depression), a non-opioid medication to facilitate withdrawal severity would be of great value. Commonly used non-opioid medications like lofexidine have concerning side effects including sedation and low blood pressure. BioXcel Therapeutics has developed BXCL501 (dexmedetomidine: sublingual film) to reduce symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal. Dexmedetomidine is currently used as an intravenous anesthetic for its anxiety-reducing, sedative, and analgesic properties. The current study will seek to compare the safety and efficacy of BXCL501 relative to lofexidine and placebo in subjects with OUD who are physically dependent on opioids. Throughout a 7-day inpatient withdrawal period (using a methadone taper) opioid-dependent participants will receive sublingual BXCL501, placebo, or lofexidine. In comparison to lofexidine, dexmedetomidine is expected to have a superior safety profile with limited adverse effects on blood pressure and heart rhythm. Three sites will participate in this study: NYSPI, Clinilabs, Inc., and Yale University.
