Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of measurement-based care, which involves the systematic use of client self-report data to inform and enhance treatment, in opioid treatment programs using a pilot hybrid effectiveness-implementation study design. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1) is measurement based care effective for improving patient treatment attendance and opioid abstinence, and 2) can measurement based care be implemented with fidelity in opioid treatment programs? Participants in this study will be opioid treatment program leaders and treatment providers. Leaders and treatment providers will participate in measurement-based care implementation strategies such as training and consultation to help them use measurement-based care with their patients. There is no comparison group for this study, however researchers will compare effectiveness outcomes prior to and post measurement-based care implementation and will evaluate changes in measurement-based care use with fidelity post implementation.
The goal of this pilot trial is to develop and test a telehealth intervention for OUD care delivery and refine measurement strategies. The specific aims are to: 1) identify components of an effective telehealth intervention and barriers to implementation, 2) partner with an advisory board of OUD treatment stakeholders from different settings to develop a telehealth intervention for OUD treatment with buprenorphine, and 3) conduct a pilot trial of the telehealth intervention for OUD treatment. The investigators will enroll 60 patients, 30 individuals who are currently enrolled in in-person OUD treatment with buprenorphine, with a treatment episode duration of 1-3 months, and 30 individuals who are not currently receiving OUD treatment but approved for treatment intake at buprenorphine clinic by an OUD treatment clinician, to receive the telehealth for OUD care delivery intervention. The investigators will measure clinical, implementation, and patient satisfaction outcomes.
Methadone is an effective treatment for severe opioid use disorder (OUD), but access is limited due to the requirement of daily observed dosing by most opioid treatment programs (OTPs). Sonara Health designed a HIPAA-compliant web-application called Sonara that features integrated video dosing recording, a tamper-evident seal, and an innovative measurement-based care (MBC) framework called the Opioid Craving Visual Analogue Scale (OC-VAS) to facilitate methadone take-homes while providing evidence of appropriate use and monitoring patient outcomes. Phase II of this SBIR aims to compare Sonara against usual take-homes to assess its impact on retention in care, opioid use, patient outcomes, and costs of care.
to investigate the impact of cognitive behavior therapy for psychiatric problems among patients with opioid use disorder with relapse condition. In this randomize control trail (RCT), N=120 patients with relapse condition would be taken. After enrolment patients' eligibility assessment would be completed and then n=60 patients would be allocated to experimental (n=30) and waitlist control (n=30) through random assignment. Patient's age range would be between 20 to 30 years.
This project will evaluate the ability of Mirtazapine (MZP), a pharmacologically unique medication with a growing body of evidence to support its efficacy and safety for the treatment of methamphetamine (MA) use among medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) patients, to significantly decrease MA use and related health-impairing behaviors. MZP has already successfully been used in the treatment of methamphetamine (detailed further below and in the Appendices). The investigators hypothesize that those assigned to the MZP plus treatment as usual (TAU) MZP+TAU arm will demonstrate significantly increased rates of biochemically verified abstinence from MA and other substances of abuse and experience improvements in health impairing behaviors relative to the placebo (PLO)+TAU arm across the 10-week treatment and follow-up periods.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of office-based methadone with pharmacy administration and/or dispensing to office-based buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder. This study will also examine factors influencing the implementation of office-based methadone.
This is an observational, prospective case-control study evaluating the effects of an emergency department community health worker-peer recovery specialist program (PCHW), the Substance Misuse Assistance Response Team (SMART). Aims of this study are to 1) understand participant experiences working with a SMART PCHW and identify possible mechanisms for successful recovery linkage; 2) Evaluate SMART effectiveness on patient-centered outcomes, building recovery capital, and recovery linkage; 3) Evaluate SMART implementation and effectiveness on patient outcomes over time. Using a combination of surveys and data linkages to state administrative databases, study investigators will prospectively compare changes in addiction treatment engagement, recovery capital, health related social needs, acute care utilization, and death between people receiving a ED PCHW and those who do not. After consenting to study participation, participants will complete surveys at time of study enrollment and 3 and 6 months after their initial ED visit. Primary outcomes include engagement in addiction treatment, social services engagement, acute care utilization, and mortality will be assessed through linkages to state administrative databases.
The investigators aim to test the effectiveness of a high maintenance daily dose of buprenorphine (24 mg) for improving outcomes among patients who used fentanyl compared to the standard daily dose (16 mg). The main question it aims to answer is: will patients who are randomly assigned to the high 24 mg maintenance dose, as compared to patients randomly assigned to the standard 16 mg maintenance dose, have improved retention in buprenorphine treatment (primary outcome), decreased use of non-prescribed opioids (secondary outcome), decreased opioid cravings (secondary outcome), and decreased risk of fatal and non-fatal opioid overdose (secondary outcome).
The objective of this protocol is to use probabilistic choice tasks, reinforcement learning modeling and fMRI to determine the neurobehavioral mechanisms of decision-making in individuals with opioid use disorder and physical opioid dependence.
Homelessness severely affects health and well-being and is particularly negative for youth. Between 70-95% of youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) report problem substance use and 66-89% have a mental health disorder. Youth appear to be at greater risk for living on the streets or being homeless than adults and are more vulnerable to long term consequences of homelessness. Multiple social determinants of health (SDOH) are uniquely associated with homelessness, driving substance use and adverse mental health consequences. However, limited research has identified pragmatic interventions that have a long-term ameliorating impact on the complex, multi-symptomatic issues among these youth. This study overcomes prior gaps in research through testing a multi-component comprehensive prevention intervention targeting SDOH that may affect biopsychosocial health indicators and longer-term health outcomes. In partnership with a drop-in center for YEH, youth between the ages of 14 to 24 years, will be engaged and randomly assigned to conditions using a dismantling design so that essential intervention components can be efficiently identified. In particular, youth (N = 300) will be randomly assigned to a) Motivational Interviewing/Community Reinforcement Approach + Services as Usual (MI/CRA + SAU, n = 80), b) Strengths-Based Outreach and Advocacy + Services As Usual (SBOA + SAU, n = 80), c) MI/CRA + SBOA + SAU (n = 80) or d) SAU (n=60) through the drop-in center. In order to assess the longer-term prevention effects on substance use, mental health and other outcomes, all youth will be assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24-months post-baseline. The primary goal of this study is to establish the impact of a comprehensive intervention embedded within a system that serves YEH, a community drop-in center, on youth's opioid misuse and disorder, other substance misuse and disorders, mental health diagnoses, and other targeted outcomes. This study will offer unique information on the physiological and psychological stress pathways underlying change for specific subgroups of youth along with cost estimates to inform future implementation efforts in drop-in centers around the country.
