Filter by:This study involves the comparison of two treatment approaches for patients with chronic pain who are entering methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for opioid addiction: (a) an integrated counseling that addresses both chronic pain and opioid dependence(POD)and (b) a counseling intervention that addresses opioid dependence only.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the whether an automated telephone-based system is useful and helpful for opioid dependent patients receiving buprenorphine in primary care. The Recovery Line support system is a Therapeutic Interactive Voice Response system based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The Recovery Line support system includes a variety of modules presenting the basic principles and strategies of CBT. Each module includes learning sections and activities sections to provide direct guidance in using skills. The Recovery Line support system is interactive and also includes a questionnaire to help patients identify problems and recommend modules for use, as well as an inspiration section, an introduction, and an immediate assistance menu. Following development of an initial system the current trial will recruit 40 patients receiving buprenorphine maintenance from a physician provider in the local community. Patients will be randomly (flip of a coin) to receive the Recover Line Support system or to treatment as usual with their physician. Patients assigned to TIVR will be trained on the system and provided 24-hr access to the TIVR system for a four week period. Primary outcome variables will be how long patients remain in treatment, self-reported abstinence from opioids and other drugs, and abstinence as measured by weekly drug screens. It is expected that patients assigned to TIVR will better treatment outcomes than patients assigned to TAU.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the drug-drug interaction potential between telaprevir and buprenorphine/naloxone. An understanding of the interaction potential will help to determine whether buprenorphine dose adjustments are necessary for patients who are concomitantly treated with telaprevir. Telaprevir, in combination with other antiviral agents, is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Buprenorphine/naloxone is used for maintainance therapy in patients with opioid dependence.
Specific Aim: To conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of extended release-naltrexone (XR-NTX) among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected prisoners meeting Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV (DSM-IV) criteria for opioid dependence who are transitioning from the structure of a correctional setting to the community. Hypotheses: i. XR-NTX will result in improved HIV clinical outcomes, including lower changes in HIV-1 RNA levels, higher CD4 counts and higher rates of retention in care. ii. XR-NTX will result in improved opioid treatment outcomes, including longer time to opioid relapse, lower addiction severity and lower craving for opioid. iii. XR-NTX will result in reduced drug- and sex-related HIV risk behaviors compared to the control group. iv. XR-NTX will result in decreased rates of reincarceration after 12 months of release to the community.
This was a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind pilot study in opioid-using adults to assess the presence, duration, and degree of opiate blockade as well as the safety and tolerability of Medisorb® naltrexone (VIVITROL®). Subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a single gluteal intramuscular (IM) injection of Medisorb naltrexone 75, 150, or 300 mg.
This is a study of tramadol as an agent for short-term opioid withdrawal treatment. A randomized, double blind clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of tramadol to clonidine and buprenorphine in the short-term treatment of opioid withdrawal will be conducted. Opioid dependent participants will be treated on a residential unit. The primary outcome measure is opioid withdrawal symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to improve unsupervised dosing of opioid substitution medications. The aim of the study is to examine whether electronic compliance monitoring provides some advantages to patients`treatment and what kind of patients especially benefit from monitoring. We would also like to know if electronic compliance monitoring can prevent the abuse/diversion of medications and how implementing this method to wider treatment facilities succeeds.
The purpose of this study is to examine how Buprenorphine, a form of opioid addiction treatment, changes the ability to think and reason among people addicted to opiates, who are either HIV negative or HIV positive. In addition, blood samples will be stored for HIV+ and HIV- individuals who take buprenorphine to study its effect. This study hypothesizes that the HIV positive participants will demonstrate significant improvement in thinking and reasoning ability at 3 and 6 months compared to baseline, but that their thinking and reasoning ability will still be lower than HIV negative participants. This study also hypothesizes the biomarkers in participants' blood samples will be associated with measures of change in thinking and reasoning ability.
This pilot study is examining the feasibility of a primary care and a specialist treatment (methadone clinic) model of treatment for 15 offenders who are part of two community supervision programs: Drug Court and the Treatment Alternative Program (TAP) in Dane County. The questions addressed by future larger studies based upon the current pilot-feasibility study will center around whether access to primary health care as opposed to more traditional methadone treatment services will improve the health and criminal justice outcomes for participants.
The goal of this two-year study is to test the efficacy of dronabinol as an adjunct to maintenance treatment with naltrexone in opioid-dependent individuals. We hypothesize that administering dronabinol during detoxification and during the first few weeks of naltrexone treatment will lead to improved naltrexone tolerability, resulting in better naltrexone compliance and treatment retention, and ultimately a reduction in opioid use and relapse rates.
