NCT06855732
The goal of this study is to learn if Pain Self-Management (PSM) can improve chronic pain care in individuals with opioid misuse or opioid use disorder (OUD) The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does PSM help participants manage their chronic pain more effectively? * Does PSM help participants engage in treatment for opioid use? Researchers will compare PSM to standard care to see if PSM is effective in managing chronic pain and engagement in treatment. Participants will: * Take part in the PSM program or receive standard care for 12 weeks after enrolling in the study * Complete surveys every 3 months for 9 months (total of 4 visits) Participants will receive compensation for participating in the study. There are risks associated with participating in the study, including breach of confidentiality and psychological distress caused by discussing difficult topics.
NCT05976646
The overall goal of this project is to collect initial human data on the effects of novel compounds on safety (interactions with an opioid drug, e.g., buprenorphine) and early efficacy signals (subjective effects on negative affect, craving, and opioid withdrawal) in OUD subjects currently in MOUD treatment with buprenorphine.
NCT05610072
The overarching hypotheses of this protocol are that (1) persistent brain glutamate changes induced by chronic opioid use will exacerbate use of cocaine during opioid physical dependence and withdrawal and (2) n-acetylcysteine (NAC) will ameliorate glutamatergic dysregulation, and thus will reduce both opioid and cocaine demand. These hypotheses will be tested with two specific aims. Specific Aim 1. Determine the reinforcing effects of cocaine in individuals with comorbid opioid and cocaine use disorder with physiological dependence on opioids during NAC maintenance. All subjects will be maintained on oral hydromorphone. They will also be randomly assigned to receive placebo or oral NAC (2.4 g/day), stratified by sex. After dose stabilization, experimental sessions will be conducted in which subjects complete hypothetical cocaine purchase tasks during opioid maintenance and opioid withdrawal. The hypotheses are: 1) cocaine purchasing will be greater during opioid withdrawal and 2) NAC maintenance will attenuate cocaine purchasing across opioid maintenance and withdrawal periods. Specific Aim 2. Evaluate glutamate functionality during periods of opioid maintenance and withdrawal in individuals with comorbid opioid and cocaine use disorder and physiological dependence on opioids during NAC maintenance. Subjects will undergo magnetic resonance spectroscopy to evaluate brain glutamate changes as a function of opioid maintenance/withdrawal state and NAC maintenance. The hypotheses are: 1) glutamate levels will be elevated during opioid withdrawal and 2) NAC maintenance will ameliorate elevated glutamate levels.
NCT07549126
This study is stage 2, round 1 of a larger study which refines and optimizes the EMBED clinical decision support (CDS); see NCT03658642 to increase number of ED physicians following standard of care for the administration of buprenorphine to appropriate patients with opioid use disorder.
NCT04587791
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover human laboratory study investigating the dose-dependent safety and acute effects of Cannabidiol (CBD) on measures of pain and opioid craving in outpatients with opioid use disorder (OUD) receiving medication-assisted treatment with methadone or buprenorphine. With a duration of approximately 4 weeks, participants will come to the testing site for a total of five times: one initial screening session, and four experimental sessions where study medication, CBD, will be administered, separated by at least 72 hours to limit carryover effects.
NCT07421102
This pilot study evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of mailing buprenorphine to individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) following medical hospitalization. The intervention aims to improve retention in treatment by overcoming barriers such as transportation and pharmacy access.
NCT05160233
The DIGITS Trial addresses a critical knowledge gap: How to best implement digital treatments for opioids and other substance use disorders in primary care. The DIGITS Trial is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute (KPWHRI) in Seattle, and Kaiser Permanente Washington, a healthcare delivery system in Washington State. In this study, the FDA-authorized reSET and reSET-O digital therapeutics will be implemented in Kaiser Permanente Washington primary care clinics. The study will evaluate the extent to which two implementation strategy interventions, health coaching and practice coaching, improve the implementation. Primary care clinics are randomized to receive these implementation strategy interventions. Each clinic will have a 12-month active implementation period beginning on its date of randomization. To study the continued use of reSET and reSET-O after the active implementation period is completed, a sustainment period of up 12 months will follow the active implementation period.
NCT05776823
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of a pharmacist-led intervention to expand access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) on racial/ethnic differences in opioid-related overdose among individuals diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) currently incarcerated in a carceral setting. In this study, participants will be screened for opioid use, trained to administer Narcan nasal spray, receive motivational counseling and referral to treatment post-release from a carceral setting (a Re-Entry program) into the community.
NCT06701123
The opioid epidemic has resulted in widespread detrimental consequences among vulnerable populations in Missouri, especially among pregnant and postpartum women (PPW) with opioid use disorder (OUD). Perinatal use of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) within a comprehensive treatment plan is the current standard of care, however PPW struggling with OUD may underestimate or misjudge its benefits. At the same time, emerging findings signal that mobile health (mHealth) technologies have the potential to support healthier behaviors among individuals with OUD. In this project, we will test the utility of a theoretically-based digital therapeutics tool (uMAT-R) to encourage MAT adherence and treatment retention while considering the unique needs of PPW. We will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) among adult PPW with OUD. This RCT is designed to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of uMAT-R mobile app versus a control group (who receive treatment-as-usual) regarding participants' treatment adherence, sobriety, and improved MAT attitudes, norms, and perceived control. Recruitment for all Aims will occur at a clinic in St. Louis, Missouri that provides perinatal medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and high-risk maternity care to PPW struggling with OUD. Clinically meaningful effect size and attrition estimates will aid in the planning of a larger RCT in which we will test uMAT-R on a larger scale and expand our recruitment to other clinics across Missouri and other states. In addition, local providers who work with pregnant and postpartum people with substance use disorder and/or at a recovery community center will be recruited to provide their feedback. This novel technology could be an invaluable tool to assist physicians in the treatment of OUD among PPW.
NCT06212557
Evaluation of a mobile medical app (KIOS) vs. treatment as usual for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD).
NCT05492825
This is a pragmatic, open label, randomized controlled trial with 1:1:1 allocation to 12 weeks of: (1) onsite yoga at opioid treatment programs (OTPs), (2) onsite physical therapy (PT) at OTPs, or (3) treatment as usual (TAU). Participants will be 180 individuals with chronic back pain receiving treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) in community-based OTPs. Through research visits at screening, baseline, and months 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9, the investigators will evaluate pain and opioid use outcomes and implementation outcomes.
NCT04216719
In response to the opioid crisis in New York State (NYS), where the propose project will take place, the Unified Court System (UCS) developed a new treatment court model - the opioid court model (OCM) - designed around 10 practice guidelines to address the flaws of existing drug courts and reduce overdose (OD), opioid use disorder (OUD), and recidivism via rapid screening and linkage to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). In 2018, NYS began to expand the OCM across NYS. Yet, given the innovation of the OCM, the exact barriers to implementation in disparate counties with a range of resources - and the strategies to overcome them - are largely unknown. The research team proposes to integrate evidence-based implementation strategies to refine and evaluate the Opioid Court Model Rigorous Implementation Science for Effectiveness (OCM RISE) intervention, an implementation intervention that will allow the OCM, as framed by the 10 practice guidelines, to be scaled up across NYS.
NCT07490717
Opioid overdose is the leading cause of death among people recently released from incarceration. Recent evidence also shows a rise in stimulant use among justice-involved populations, as well as growing rates of concurrent opioid and stimulant use. Yet, while there is growing research on opioid use disorder (OUD), stimulant use disorder (STUD), and substance use treatment in jails and prisons, studies find that few people who are referred to community substance use treatment actually initiate treatment after release. But, emerging research suggests that therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a common and deleterious OUD and STUD comorbidity, could profoundly increase the likelihood of engagement with substance use treatment; however, this has not been tested in jails, and acceptable, appropriate, and feasible ways to identify and link people with probable PTSD and OUD/STUD in this setting to treatment are required to be able to examine this possibility. Therefore, this 4-year R33 aims to 1) describe engagement in and examine the implementation outcomes of an innovative approach to identifying and referring people with probable PTSD and OUD/STUD to needed treatment services and 2) the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of two competing models of subsequent trauma-focused therapy initiation timing (i.e., immediate initiation of therapy vs initiation upon community reentry) among people who demonstrate need for OUD/STUD services and who accept referral. To address Aim 1, the investigators will assess the implementation context for and subsequently implement a screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment model that was adapted to identify and address the substance use and mental health needs of adults with probable PTSD and OUD/STUD in the jail setting (SBIRT-J) in the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility; the investigators will describe engagement in and examine the implementation outcomes of the SBIRT-J model via a summative evaluation guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Specifically, there will be a survey and interview jail stakeholders (e.g., jail leadership, officers) to understand perceptions of the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the SBIRT-J model as well as SBIRT-J implementation determinants (i.e., barriers and facilitators), and use administrative data to understand the degree to which SBIRT-J is adopted during active enrollment in the R33 Aim 2 research trial and sustained in the 6 months after enrollment end. Fidelity to the SBIRT-J model will also be monitored and reported. To address Aim 2, the investigators will conduct a patient-randomized Hybrid type I implementation-effectiveness trial in which adults who are identified as having probable PTSD and OUD/STUD through the SBIRT-J model and who consent to participate in the trial are randomly assigned to either immediate initiation of therapy for PTSD in jail or initiation of PTSD therapy upon release. The primary effectiveness outcome will be post-release substance use treatment initiation by 6-months post-release from jail; secondary and exploratory outcomes will include substance use treatment readiness and retention, OUD/STUD severity, PTSD symptoms, victimization, overdose, and additional drug use. Participants in the effectiveness portion of the trial (N = 338; \~50% female) will be enrolled from the largest jail in Arkansas. Jail stakeholders will also be enrolled to provide implementation-related data. The overall goal is to translate research to practice to increase the provision of high-quality care for justice-involved persons with probable PTSD and OUD/STUD. Indeed, this study will be the first trial of a treatment for PTSD in jails as a method for improving OUD/STUD outcomes, providing foundational information on PTSD as a novel intervention target for meeting the needs of a particularly vulnerable population and providing the implementation data to inform rapid scale-up, if effective.
NCT07362082
This trial will assess effects of enrollment in a comprehensive telehealth platform, RecoveryPad (RP), in adults with moderate or severe opioid use disorder.
NCT05942313
This study will be a 12-month prospective, genotype-blinded longitudinal observational study with current standard of clinical care. This study will enroll 100 pregnant women with OUD at UPMC Hospitals with its high volumes. Because of the observational nature of the study, the anticipated dropout rate will be ≤ 20%. Investigators expect the effective sample size of evaluable patients will be 200 with longitudinal data.
NCT07456930
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether the Compl-AI model can accurately predict who is likely to stop their medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) early in adults receiving real-world treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). The main questions it aims to answer is: can the model accurately predict early discontinuation of MOUD? Because this study has no comparison groups, all participants receive their usual MOUD as part of routine care. Researchers will observe how participants engage with treatment and how well Compl-AI predicts their outcomes. Participants will complete 4 visits, including a questionnaire about personal experiences during first visit and questions about their substance use and treatment history. During the monthly study visits, the researchers will record in particular the attendance at MOUD medication visits, the medication adherence and any treatment discontinuation.
NCT05905367
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?
NCT07466784
Unregulated opioids remain a leading driver of preventable mortality and potential years of life lost in Canada. Emergency departments (EDs)-open 24/7 and frequently accessed by people who use drugs-offer critical opportunities to reverse toxicity, mitigate harm, and initiate treatment. Yet, high quality evidence to guide ED care for patients with opioid poisoning and concomitant opioid dependence or opioid use disorder is limited. The investigators aim to establish a pan Canadian registry of patients presenting to EDs with opioid poisoning to generate timely, practice informing evidence. The investigators will create the Canadian Emergency Department Research Network (CEDRN) Opioid Registry across participating EDs nationwide. Using automated screening of electronic health records (EHRs), the investigators will identify consecutive patients of all ages with suspected or confirmed opioid poisoning at their index ED visit. The project's objectives are to establish a pan-Canadian registry of Emergency Department patients presenting with opioid poisoning, harmonize data collection across participating sites, describe variations in patient characteristics, clinical practice and outcomes, and derive a clinical decision rule to predict the risk of dying within 60 days. The expected outcomes include advancing healthcare delivery, improving patient and provider experiences, and enhancing population health and health system sustainability for individuals with opioid poisoning. This research is crucial for addressing the opioid crisis in Canada and has the potential to significantly impact patient care and outcomes.
NCT06028126
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether the use of intermittent superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks reduces opioid usage in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive the blocks with 0.2% ropivacaine administered via catheters placed in the superficial parasternal intercostal plane bilaterally under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will compare this group with a control group given 0.9% saline through similarly placed catheters. The primary outcome will be cumulative postoperative opioid use (measured as Milligram Morphine Equivalent (MME)) up to 72 hours following catheter insertion.
NCT06651177
The primary objective of this research study is to evaluate the effect of tirzepatide, relative to placebo, as an adjunct to BUP on retention, substance use, and sleep outcomes in individuals with OUD.
