Active clinical trials for "Narcotic-Related Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to formulate definitions of doctor/pharmacy shopping and evaluate its association with abuse/addiction

The purpose of this study is to determine reliability of codes and data from electronic medical records to predict and measure overdose and death in patients prescribed opioid analgesics. The study will compare this electronic data to data manually obtained from medical charts.

The purposes of this study are to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of the POMAQ to identify opioid abuse and misuse behaviors among participants who have chronic pain which requires long-term opioid use.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patient usability and reliability of the POMAQ survey to evaluate opioid misuse and abuse among adults with chronic moderate to severe pain, including patients who are opioid abusers, non-abusers, as well as non-opioid users

To evaluate the reasons patients go to more than one prescriber or more than one pharmacy to obtain prescriptions opioids and assess whether the percentage of patients reporting misuse, abuse and/or diversion increases across defined categories of doctor/pharmacy shopping as defined in Study 4A.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a classification model based entirely on medical claims data that can be used to identify patients experiencing prescription opioid abuse/addiction among patients receiving extended-release (ER) and/or long-acting (LA) opioids

The purpose is to validate the PRISM-5-Op as a measurement of prescription opioid substance use disorder.

There was a study titled "A prospective evaluation of opioid utilization after upper extremity surgical procedures: Identifying consumption patterns and determining prescribing guidelines" by Dr. Matzon and team from Thomas Jefferson University that came up with a simple set of opioid guidelines post-surgically. These guidelines are helping to guide surgeon's prescribing patterns and ideally limit the number of prescribed pain medicines. We plan to identify typical narcotic analgesic usage post sports orthopaedic surgery. We hope to identify the number of narcotic pain pills to prescribe to patients undergoing orthopaedic sports surgery in the future.

To assess whether the percentage of patients with behaviors suggestive of misuse, diversion, abuse and/or addiction described in the medical record increases across pre-defined categories of increasing doctor/pharmacy shopping behavior.

Study to evaluate the impact of the ER/LA opioid REMS program on the incidence of Emergency Department visits and hospitalizations for overdose/poisoning and death among patients prescribed ER/LA opioid analgesics.
