View clinical trials related to Opioid Withdrawal.
Filter by:The investigators are trying to determine whether they can effectively treat patients suffering from acute opioid withdrawal in the Emergency Department at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (VCUHS) and subsequently transfer them to an outpatient addiction clinic within the existing infrastructure. This will be a descriptive investigation of the process to reveal areas of success and opportunities for improvement in order to determine feasibility of the study procedures in preparation for a larger clinical investigation.
This is a pilot randomized control trial randomizing patients presenting in opioid withdrawal to the emergency department to receive either one of clonidine (usual standard of care) or buprenorphine for their opioid withdrawal. Primary treatment outcome is attendance at a rapid access addiction medicine clinic within a few days of emergency room presentation. Secondary treatment outcome is treatment status with respect to opioid agonist treatment at one month post emergency room visit.
It is a single blind randomized symptom triggered study to assess efficacy and safety of pregablin combined with the symptom triggered treatment for opiate withdrawal syndrome vs. clonidne with the same with the symptom triggered treatment for opiate withdrawal syndrome.
Purpose: The purpose of this research study is to learn whether oxytocin treatment decreases use of and cravings for opioids (narcotics) in people who have been using opioids heavily for long periods of time and are unable to stop on their own. Participants: Patients meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria for opioid dependence. Procedures (methods): Subjects will have standard medications available for withdrawal symptoms from opioids and standard psychosocial interventions available in the inpatient setting. In addition, subjects will self-administer intranasal test treatments 3 times daily.
The purpose of this Phase 3 open-label treatment study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lofexidine at a clinically relevant dose to alleviate symptoms of acute withdrawal from any opioid, including methadone and buprenorphine. This study will take place in a variety of clinical scenarios, both in-clinic and outpatient settings.
Opioid medications are commonly used for pain relief. When given over time, physical dependence can occur. This results in unpleasant side effects (such as agitation and nausea) if opioid medications are suddenly stopped. This study aims to test the use of the drug ondansetron to reduce the symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal and to prevent the progression of opioid physical dependence, thereby allowing future investigators to better test the role of physical dependence in the development of addiction and also possibly improving acceptance of abstinence-based programs for addiction.
This study involves inducting treatment seeking opioid dependent participants onto buprenorphine. Once the participant reaches a stable dose they will receive either placebo or gabapentin to determine if gabapentin helps ease withdrawal symptoms while the participant undergoes a 10-day buprenorphine detoxification.
