The investigators will implement a non-randomized observational clinical trial that will include a pop-up clinic for women who inject drugs (WWID) near venues for exchange sex and drug use in north Seattle. The pop-up clinic will be housed within a van and serve as a research extension of the SHE Clinic, a Harborview Medical Center run clinic for women who exchange sex and use drugs in north Seattle. Through the implementation of the pop-up clinic, the investigators will aim to assess: 1. The impact of the pop-up clinic on uptake and sustained use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among WWID. 2. The impact of point of care (POC) sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing on STI treatment completion rates. 3. The acceptability and feasibility of providing HIV prevention care for WWID and exchange sex in a pop-up van clinic.
The effect of pain agreements to reduce opioid misuse is an accepted practice in many settings, but it has never been applied to the acute care setting. Pain agreements are considered the standard of care for chronic pain management reliant on opioid prescribing, and they are a mandated component of care in many states. Therefore, the adjunct of safe opioid use agreements into acute pain management offers a logical extension of current practices from chronic pain management. This study will test the use of agreements to improve safe opioid use to prevent misuse and opioid-related harm.
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 5-year K01 Mentored Research Scientist proposal will employ brain, neurocognitive, and computational tools (e.g., machine learning) to understand the impact of opioid-use disorder (OUD) and common co-occurring issues on executive function and clinical outcomes. There have been record numbers of fatal and non-fatal overdoses (ODs) associated with opioids (and other drugs) in the past 12-months. Improving classification and predictive capabilities to enhance treatment and prevent relapse is of the upmost importance. Deficits in neurocognition often are associated with poor treatment outcomes (e.g., more drug use, medication non-adherence), yet co-occurring issues associated with OUD (e.g., depression, anxiety, physical/sexual abuse, neglect) make it difficult to parse which contributing factors lead to worse executive function (EF) and poorer treatment outcomes. Novel brain, neurocognitive, and computational tools are needed to help determine these differences, in order to lay the foundation for better treatments. This need has shaped both the training plan and the associated research project in a 5-year K01 Mentored Research Scientist proposal, building on Dr. Regier's prior preclinical and clinical addiction neuroscience experience (focused mostly on cocaine-use disorders, cue-reactivity, subcortical networks, prior adversity, and univariate imaging techniques).
The purpose of the research is to check whether services and materials made available through a smartphone app are helpful to people who have been diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD). Participants are asked to use an app to submit videos of themselves taking salivary drug tests to a secure online system. The app includes reminders, rewards, and activities, as well as access to live support. Study participation lasts one year and includes about 30 minutes each week submitting videos, an hour-long interview to get started, and hour-long interviews once every three months after that over the course of the year.
The goal of this research study is to investigate the effects transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN), as delivered through the Sparrow Ascent device, on helping people with co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and opioid use disorder (OUD) start and continue buprenorphine treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the tAN help participants with OUD and PTSD remain in buprenorphine therapy for three months after starting use of the device (i.e., randomization to treatment condition)? - Do participants find the Sparrow Ascent device to be acceptable and use it? - Do participants find the Sparrow Ascent device to be tolerable and comfortable to use? - Do participants find the Sparrow Ascent device to be easy to use with their buprenorphine therapy? - Do participants follow the minimum recommended dose schedule for the Sparrow Ascent device most of the time? Participants will complete a baseline assessment to make sure that they are eligible to participate in the study. The assessment captures information about demographics, substance use and treatment history, opioid withdrawal symptoms and craving, difficult life experiences and PTSD symptoms, mental health and treatment history, quality of life, and recovery resources. After the assessment is complete and the participant has been inducted on buprenorphine as part of standard care in the clinic, they are randomized to one of two treatment conditions: active tAN and placebo. Participants are trained on how to use the device and return for 12 weekly research visits to check on recent substance use and craving, PTSD symptoms, and their experience using the device. After 12 weeks of using the device, participants will complete a post-active treatment assessment that is nearly identical to the baseline assessment to see if there have been changes in these areas. Researchers will access the medical record to determine whether there is a current prescription for buprenorphine at three months and six months after randomization.
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.
This is a pilot, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) with suicidal ideation in the emergency department (ED) to receive either a single infusion of ketamine 0.8mg/kg (n=25) or saline placebo (n=25). The primary aim is to evaluate the safety of the ketamine treatment. The secondary aim is to determine the preliminary efficacy of opioid- and suicide-related outcomes.
