Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test a treatment strategy for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) who use fentanyl. Participants will receive medically-administered doses of intravenous (IV) fentanyl at intervals until they are comfortable and do not have withdrawal symptoms. They then will be given opioid agonist therapy (OAT) once daily by mouth, which is the current standard treatment for OUD. In this trial, each participant's starting dose of OAT will be tailored to meet their opioid needs, based on the amount of IV fentanyl they received. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: - Is the IV fentanyl protocol feasible and safe for use in a community clinic setting? - Will the protocol result in higher-than-standard starting doses of OAT? Are these doses safe, and will they enable participants to stay on OAT for a longer time?
The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral internal capsule (VC) for participants with treatment refractory opioid use disorder (OUD) who have cognitive, behavioral, and functional disability.
The purpose of this study is to observe and assess the successful taper and opioid withdrawal experience after participants stop receiving SUBLOCADE because their healthcare provider determines their disease symptoms have been controlled for at least 9 months and they, together with their healthcare provider, plan to discontinue MOUD.
Public libraries nationwide are facing an on-premise opioid overdose crisis. Many persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) remained unhoused and profoundly hard to reach. This study innovatively develops and tests a telemedicine intervention delivered through public libraries to increase unstably housed individuals' access to bupe treatment that would prevent overdoses from occurring in the first place. The investigators will conduct a 12-week pilot 2-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) (n=40). Research staff will recruit library patrons and randomize them to weekly telehealth at the library or in-person clinic control arms across two participating libraries in San Diego.
This study will provide the opportunity to generate data on the long-term use of SUBLOCADE under real-world conditions, and to observe enduring changes in lifestyle, health, and sociodemographic factors that are part of the recovery process. Long-term patterns of abstinence/opioid misuse as well as measures of participants' physical, psychological, social, and economic well-being will be monitored to better understand factors associated with recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD). Therefore, this study will observe participants up to a maximum of 4 years.
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot an adaptable, user-friendly, web-accessible toolkit and implementation strategy for jails to be able to provide access to pregnancy-specific opioid use disorder (OUD) care. The main question it aims to answer is: - What support and tools do jails that vary in size, resources, and health care delivery systems need for pregnancy care that can be tailored to the environment? Jail staff will use the implementation resource to provide care to pregnant people in and leaving custody through facilitated guidance. While using the resource, jail staff will: - Complete 6-month and 12-month surveys assessing the participants use of the tool - Complete baseline, 6-month, and 12-month qualitative interviews assessing the participants perspectives on using the tool - Report de-identified jail outcomes data monthly on the pregnant people in the jail's care - Report jail policy and financial data as it pertains to pregnant people with OUD at baseline Pregnant people with OUD in custody at pilot jails will be asked to participate in qualitative interviews as baseline and 1- and 6 months after release to assess the participants perspectives on the care received in jail and continuity of care.
Knee osteoarthritis is a major issue worldwide with limited treatment options. Many patients receive knee joint replacement surgery which is considered effective and safe. Nonetheless the period post-surgery is characterized by moderate to severe pain inhibiting early ambulation, motivation and range of motion, compromising rehabilitation, patient satisfaction, and overall outcomes. An optimal strategy of postoperative pain treatment after knee replacement surgery has not yet been established. Recently, our research center and others have shown that is possible to target the nerves surrounding the knee with a novel treatment called cryoneurolysis. Cryoneurolysis apply low temperatures [-20°C ; -100°C] to a target nerve, which disrupts nerve function and provides potential pain relief. This suggest a potential for cryoneurolysis to significantly improve rehabilitation, reduce opioid intake and overall outcomes after knee replacement surgery. The primary objective of the current project is to determine the effectiveness of cryoneurolysis in its proposed ability to reduce opioid intake and postoperative pain after knee replacement surgery. The study is a randomized controlled study with two groups. Group CRYO receives cryoneurolysis prior to knee replacement surgery and group SHAM receives a sham treatment prior to knee replacement surgery. Both groups receive surgery, analgesics and postoperative rehabilitation as per usual. Efficacy of treatment is evaluated using the change in opioid intake in the CRYO group compared to the SHAM group 14 days after knee replacement surgery. Participants will also be assessed at 90 and 180 days after knee replacement surgery and will include measures on pain, quality of life and function.
This study is being done to answer the question: what is the effect of Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) dosing on opioid withdrawal responses in individuals with a history of Opioid Use Disorders (OUDs)? Eligible participants will be in the study for one week in an inpatient research hospital stay, have an MRI scan, and have a follow-up call 1-3 months after their inpatient stay. Participants will complete several psychiatric questionnaires/interviews, physiological monitoring with several devices, brain imaging, and VNS testing.
This study aims to use an Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Telehealth Platform to reduce overdose events. This telehealth platform will be pilot tested to evaluate its preliminary efficacy in terms of motivating engagement in medications for OUD (MOUD), as well as its feasibility, acceptability and satisfaction to both first responders/providers and participants.
This research is being done to evaluate whether suvorexant may reduce the use of, subjective liking, and demand for various drugs.
