Clinical Trial Summary

This study will aim to investigate the gut microbiota in Egyptian patients with opioid use disorders and correlate microbiota bacterial abundance with clinical data.


Clinical Trial Description

Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite adverse consequences. Pathological substance use disorders represent a major public health crisis with limited effective treatment options. Although the gut and brain are separate organs, they communicate with each other via trillions of intestinal bacteria that collectively make up one's gut microbiome. Findings from both humans and animals support a critical role of gut microbes in regulating brain function, mood, and behavior. Gut bacteria influence neural circuits that are notably affected in addiction-related behaviors. These include circuits involved in stress, reward, and motivation, with substance use influencing gut microbial abnormalities, suggesting significant gut-brain interactions in drug addiction. The investigator will discuss this role of gut microbiome in Assuit university hospital to see how the pathogenesis can be altered of drug addiction. ;
