Filter by:This study seeks to improve the treatment of chronic pain in people who are taking buprenorphine (also known as Suboxone, Subutex, Zubsolv). The research study is testing two different interventions along with usual clinical care: 1. Pain Self-Management (PSM): an educational program in which individuals with chronic pain work with a trained pain coach and a pain peer to explore strategies to effectively manage the daily problems that arise from chronic pain. 2. Patient-Oriented Dosing (POD): an alternative dosing of buprenorphine which will be adjusted based on pain levels. The interventions will take place over a period of 12 weeks (3 months). Additionally, participants will complete surveys every 3 months for a period of 1 year (total of 5 survey visits). Participants will receive $50 compensation for each survey visit completed (up to $250 over one year) and can receive up to an additional $100 bonus compensation. There are risks associated with participating in the study, including breach of confidentiality, psychological distress caused by discussing difficult topics, and risks associated with the POD intervention.
Current clinical guidelines for medication assisted treatment (MAT) of opioid use disorder (OUD) recommend that treatment include a psychosocial component to help address psychological factors related to addiction. However, a knowledge gap exists regarding the most effective forms of psychosocial intervention and what interventions are most effective for different types of patients. This gap represents a significant barrier to the widespread implementation of effective office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) with buprenorphine, which is important to improving opioid treatment and responding to the critical needs of individuals living with OUD. The overarching goal of this patient-centered research is to address the diverse needs and preferences of OUD patients in regards to psychosocial approaches and to overcome the "one-size-fits-all" strategies that are typically used to treat OUD. Importantly, the investigators arrived at this goal, in part, through collaboration and consultation with former patients who have received different types of treatments for OUD. In this manner, patients provided important insight to inform the selection of interventions to be evaluated, patient characteristics that may differentially impact the effects of the interventions, and the patient outcomes to be examined.
The way people process and remember information may be related to adverse childhood experiences and Opioid Use Disorder symptoms. The purpose of this project is to examine brain function and performance during learning and memory tasks in adults. The study will compare measures of learning and memory across three groups of participants: those with an Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) that take buprenorphine for opioid replacement therapy, adults without an Opioid Use Disorder taking buprenorphine, and healthy adults that do not have an Opioid Use Disorder and are not taking buprenorphine.
This qualitative study investigates the potential benefits and challenges of using a once-a-month injectable medication, known as extended-release buprenorphine (XR-B), to treat individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) within a correctional setting. The research aims to understand if XR-B can be a feasible and effective alternative to the standard daily treatment and to identify which groups within the prison population may benefit the most from this treatment. In-depth interviews are conducted with incarcerated individuals and relevant stakeholders.
The goal of this observational study is to examine the factors associated with the transition from medical exposure to opioids with "signposts" of future opioid use disorder among adolescent surgical patients. The main question aims to identify factors (moderators, mediators, and covariates) associated with risk factors for opioid use disorder (ROUD) in the 12 months following major surgery with opioid exposure among adolescents aged 12-17. Participants will be asked to complete electronic surveys pre- and post-operatively and approve the collection of peri-operative data from the Electronic Medical Record to assess correlations.
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.
