Filter by:Methadone is an effective treatment for severe opioid use disorder (OUD), but access is limited due to the requirement of daily observed dosing by most opioid treatment programs (OTPs). Sonara Health designed a HIPAA-compliant web-application called Sonara that features integrated video dosing recording, a tamper-evident seal, and an innovative measurement-based care (MBC) framework called the Opioid Craving Visual Analogue Scale (OC-VAS) to facilitate methadone take-homes while providing evidence of appropriate use and monitoring patient outcomes. Phase II of this SBIR aims to compare Sonara against usual take-homes to assess its impact on retention in care, opioid use, patient outcomes, and costs of care.
This is an observational, prospective case-control study evaluating the effects of an emergency department community health worker-peer recovery specialist program (PCHW), the Substance Misuse Assistance Response Team (SMART). Aims of this study are to 1) understand participant experiences working with a SMART PCHW and identify possible mechanisms for successful recovery linkage; 2) Evaluate SMART effectiveness on patient-centered outcomes, building recovery capital, and recovery linkage; 3) Evaluate SMART implementation and effectiveness on patient outcomes over time. Using a combination of surveys and data linkages to state administrative databases, study investigators will prospectively compare changes in addiction treatment engagement, recovery capital, health related social needs, acute care utilization, and death between people receiving a ED PCHW and those who do not. After consenting to study participation, participants will complete surveys at time of study enrollment and 3 and 6 months after their initial ED visit. Primary outcomes include engagement in addiction treatment, social services engagement, acute care utilization, and mortality will be assessed through linkages to state administrative databases.
The investigators aim to test the effectiveness of a high maintenance daily dose of buprenorphine (24 mg) for improving outcomes among patients who used fentanyl compared to the standard daily dose (16 mg). The main question it aims to answer is: will patients who are randomly assigned to the high 24 mg maintenance dose, as compared to patients randomly assigned to the standard 16 mg maintenance dose, have improved retention in buprenorphine treatment (primary outcome), decreased use of non-prescribed opioids (secondary outcome), decreased opioid cravings (secondary outcome), and decreased risk of fatal and non-fatal opioid overdose (secondary outcome).
The objective of this protocol is to use probabilistic choice tasks, reinforcement learning modeling and fMRI to determine the neurobehavioral mechanisms of decision-making in individuals with opioid use disorder and physical opioid dependence.
This study is an open label randomized controlled trial of extended-release buprenorphine (BRIXADI, XR-B) vs. sublingual buprenorphine (SL-B) in a large metropolitan jail. An open-label design will randomly assign 240 adults with moderate-to-severe OUDs who are soon-to-be-released from jail to either XR-B (n=120) or SL-B (n=120) treatment in jail followed by 6-months of post-release buprenorphine treatment, a 7-month safety visit, and a final long-term follow-up at 12-months.
Studying the effects of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) on measures of pain, craving, and anxiety in a complex patient population.
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.
