Filter by:Studying the effects of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) on measures of pain, craving, and anxiety in a complex patient population.
This project will test the effectiveness of the Inclusive Skill-building Learning Approach (ISLA) in reducing the use of exclusionary discipline, improving teacher practice and student outcomes, and decreasing substance misuse using a randomized controlled trial in 60 middle schools across six states.
This study will aim to investigate the gut microbiota in Egyptian patients with opioid use disorders and correlate microbiota bacterial abundance with clinical data.
This is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, partial crossover study investigating LIFU targeting the NAc and VC for participants with severe, treatment refractory OUD.
There is an urgent unmet medical need for a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, in-home opioid disposal solution for surgical patients that is clinically proven to reduce opioid use disorder that is substantiated with economic data. SafeMedWaste, Inc. (SMW) has developed the patented SafeMedWaste in-home drug disposal container, that completely destroys opioids within minutes and can be placed in the regular trash, without risk of ground or municipal water contamination. A pilot randomized clinical trial will evaluate the use of SafeMedWaste in 300 adult patients in outpatient surgery clinics undergoing shoulder and knee surgery.
The opioid crisis continues its devastating impact on Canada, with over 13,900 deaths recorded between 2016 and 2019. Dangerous prescription opioid usage persists, affecting 12.3% of Canadians in 2018. The crisis has escalated, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in increased mortality rates. While opioid agonist therapy (OAT) is a common treatment, it falls short in addressing concurrent polysubstance use, a prevalent issue in OAT clients. Recognizing the limitations of OAT alone, there is a growing recommendation to supplement it with psychosocial interventions. The PreVenture program, known for its efficacy in reducing substance use, has been adapted for OAT clients, termed "OpiVenture." This study aims to comprehensively assess OpiVenture's feasibility and limited efficacy within an OAT setting. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study design integrates qualitative and quantitative data collection methods to thoroughly evaluate the program's feasibility and preliminary effectiveness. The focus extends beyond immediate outcomes, encompassing the preparation for future randomized controlled trials, including considerations for sample size calculation and recruitment effectiveness. This research addresses the urgent need for more comprehensive interventions to mitigate opioid use disorder (OUD) and associated morbidity, offering a potential solution to improve OAT retention and reduce mortality rates.
This project aims to collect a densely sampled neuroimaging dataset among individuals receiving medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). MOUD is multiphasic, comprised of medication induction, stabilization, ongoing treatment, and eventual dis-continuation phases. However, with a few small exceptions, existing neuroimaging efforts are almost exclusively single time-point assessments which, by definition, fail to capture these clinically relevant transitions and thus also do not capture individual risk and resilience trajectories. The investigators innovation, the characterization of neurocomputational trajectories during clinically relevant phases of MOUD treatment, will provide unprecedented mechanistic insight into the neurobiological basis of recovery. Once characterized, such trajectories may be used in the identification of specific therapeutic windows for additional intervention (e.g., times of increased neural plasticity) and in the design of novel tailored interventions based on known brain mechanisms (e.g., behavioral therapy, neurostimulation, neurofeedback).
This study will examine the synaptotrophic effects of psilocybin among medically healthy, detoxified OUD subjects. Eligible OUD participants will undergo pre- and post- psilocybin administration PET scans with the [11C]-UCB-J radiotracer while inpatient.
This study is to develop and test a medical health application based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and augmented with other evidence-based sleep interventions that address common sleep-related problems in opioid use disorder. An initial program will be built utilizing input from persons beginning medications for opioid use disorders.
The goal of the proposed study is to generate evidence on the acceptability, feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of introducing long-acting depot buprenorphine (LADB) as an additional option for the treatment of opioid dependence in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) among people who inject drugs (PWID) with opioid dependence. The study results will be used to inform global and local policies and guidelines to introduce LADB as a treatment option and to advocate for access to a sustainable supply of LADB in LMIC.
