Filter by:Among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) presents a significant clinical challenge. The prevalence of PTSD is substantially higher in individuals with OUD than in the general population, with nearly 90% reporting lifetime trauma exposure and 33% meeting diagnostic criteria for PTSD. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel telemedicine-delivered prolonged exposure therapy protocol for improving PE attendance and reducing PTSD symptom severity in individuals with concurrent PTSD and OUD.
Chronic lower back pain (CLBP) affects approximately 20% of the global population. The study objective is to determine if impulsivity, inhibitory control, drug choice, and/or cognitive distortions predict opioid misuse and disability in patients with chronic pain. This is a prospective consented cross-sectional study characterizing behavioral and cognitive phenotypes using both patient-reported survey measures and cognitive testing. Outcome measures include correlations between impulsivity measures, opioid drug choice responses and cognitive distortion scores, and risk for opioid misuse (Primary outcomes: COMM scores, SOAPPR scores). Secondary outcomes is BPI measurement. A Certificate of Confidentiality will provide additional protections for participants.
Having spine surgery and recovery is a vulnerable period when opioid naive patients may transition into long-term use of opioids, and when previously opioid tolerant patients may be at risk to continue towards long-term opioid use and dependence. However, little is known about risk for developing opioid misuse, taking opioids differently than indicated or prescribed, and later OUD. This study addresses the question of whether behavior, cognitive features, and genomic markers can predict misuse of opioids, persistent pain and disability in individuals after spine surgery. To determine if impulsivity, inhibitory control, drug choice, and/or cognitive distortions predict opioid misuse and disability in spine surgery patients with differential gene expression. This is a prospective observational longitudinal study characterizing behavioral phenotypes in adults undergoing spine surgery using both patient-reported survey measures, cognitive testing and blood sampling. Outcome measures include correlations between impulsivity measures, opioid drug choice responses and cognitive distortion scores, and opioid misuse with spine related disability, and gene expression counts.
Opioid misuse and addiction among children and adolescents is an increasingly concerning problem. Post-surgical opioid prescriptions for commonly performed surgeries such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) increase opioid exposure in young athletes. The purpose of the current study is to determine if extended-release Bupivacaine Liposome Injectable Suspension (Exparel) is effective in decreasing at home narcotic consumption compared to standard Bupivacaine Adductor Canal Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction/reconstruction for the surgical treatment of adolescents with ACL tears and concomitant pathology i.e. meniscus / cartilage injury/tear.
C4 Innovations (C4) and partners at Yale University (Yale) and the West Haven VA Medical Center (WHVA) proposed to develop and test OASIS (Overcoming and Addressing Stigma in Substance Use Disorders), a web-based educational platform for primary care clinicians and individuals with Opioid Use Disorder. The major aims of the study were to: 1. Develop a prototype of OASIS for patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and primary care clinicians; conduct usability testing. 2. Pilot OASIS with a small sample of individuals with untreated OUD and their clinicians to determine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary product effectiveness for a Phase II effectiveness trial. After development of the prototype, the C4-Yale-WHVA team planned to test OASIS with patients (N = 30) and clinicians (N = 5) using validated measures and qualitative interviews to assess usability, satisfaction, knowledge, empowerment, and stigma.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of TOME to increase Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) and opioid-overdose knowledge in pregnant and postpartum persons.
The research team is investigating Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), a disorder characterized by dysregulated dopaminergic tone, to evaluate the mechanisms of adjunctive treatment with calcitriol. The investigators will recruit 12 subjects with OUD and 12 healthy subjects to participate in a double-blind, randomized study design where subjects will complete up to 2 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans using [11C]-PHNO. The investigators will compare subjects in differences between their own study days and in differences between healthy control subjects and subjects with OUD.
This study aims to evaluate feasibility of a virtual reality software device and measure the effects of the intervention on OUD patient mood, tension and cravings, as well as the effect of treatment on patient retention to their inpatient detox protocol.
Our proposed evaluation study is designed to evaluate the impact of a recently completed stepped wedge cluster randomized trial, conducted at Kaiser Permanente Washington (KPWA), of an intervention to improve care and management of patients with drug use disorders (DUDs) in primary care (Aim 1). We will also explore the reasons for any apparent gaps in DUD care by analyzing clinicians' free-text encounter notes using manual chart review, natural language processing (NLP), and/or NLP-assisted manual chart review, as appropriate (Aim 2). Specific Project Aims are as follows: Aim 1 The primary research question we address in Aim 1 is whether routine screening for drug use disorders in primary care (PC) settings increases DUD treatment. We define DUDs as including opioid use disorders (OUD), cannabis use disorders (CUD), and other non-alcohol drug use disorders (OTH). Previously published analyses indicate that the 22 PC clinics in this trial sustained very high rates of screening (88%) and a 3-clinic DUD pilot study suggested that this screening resulted in increased diagnosis of CUD and increased treatment of DUDs in general, even at relatively low observed rates of PC-based screening and assessment. Aim 2 The overall goal of Aim 2 is to expand our understanding of gaps in DUD diagnosis and treatment that persist-despite implementation of high rates of PC screening and assessment for SUDs-using rich information available only in free-text chart notes. Through analysis of relevant chart notes Aim 2 of this project will descriptively characterize gaps in DUD diagnosis and DUD treatment (i.e., instances where information in a patient's record suggests a DUD could be diagnosed but no diagnosis is present, or a new diagnosis suggest treatment is indicated but no evidence of treatment is present), and characterize reasons for DUD care gaps.
This study will aim to investigate the gut microbiota in Egyptian patients with opioid use disorders and correlate microbiota bacterial abundance with clinical data.
