Active clinical trials for "Opioid-Related Disorders"

Death in overdose is the single most common cause of death in people using heroin. In Sweden, the number of drug-related overdose deaths has increased gradually since the early 1990s. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of a Naloxone distribution program in Skåne County. The primary issue is whether the project had an effect on overdose mortality and overdose related injuries.

This Study evaluates the effect of adding Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) to the post-operative pain management of sinus surgery patients and wether or not this addition reduces or eliminates the need for narcotic pain medications. Patients will be instructed to take an NSAID regimen after surgery and will be instructed to take narcotics only for breakthrough pain.

The purpose of Project 2 is to execute phase I functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies to assess the effects of lorcaserin on brain target engagement (measured by fMRI brain activation and neural connectivity) in cocaine use disorder (CocUD) subjects and/or opioid use disorder.

Buprenorphine (BPN) is an approved treatment for opioid dependence; however, in taking oral tablets, patients experience withdrawal and cravings when the variable BPN levels in the blood are low. Probuphine (buprenorphine implant) is an implant placed just beneath the skin that contains BPN. It is designed to provide 6 months of stable BPN blood levels. This study will test the safety and efficacy of Probuphine in the treatment of patients with opioid dependence. Patients who have completed at least 24 weeks of treatment in the Open-Label, Multi-Center Study of Probuphine in Patients with Opioid Dependence (PRO-807 Study), will be re-treated with Probuphine over an additional 24 weeks.

This study is designed to determine if different doses of buprenorphine (either tapering doses or steady doses) are effective in managing chronic, non-cancer pain in individuals who also are addicted to opiate pain medicines.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect on pain intensity (PI) of structured discontinuation of long-term opioid analgesic therapy compared to continuation of opioid therapy in Suboptimal and Optimal Responders to high-dose, long-term opioid analgesic therapy for chronic low back pain (CLBP).

The purpose of this study is to examine the acute agonist and antagonist effects of a full opioid agonist medication, an opioid antagonist medication, and a partial opioid agonist medication in individuals who have different levels of physical opioid dependence.

This pilot study evaluates a collaborative care program to assist with opioid tapering in patients with chronic pain. Patients will be randomized to receive the intervention or usual care.

The goal of this study is to establish whether an opioid-sparing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program in ambulatory anorectal surgery can be safely introduced at a single tertiary referral center without an increase in postoperative pain or negative impact on the patient experience. A single-center, single-blinded randomized control trial is proposed, where patients will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either usual care, which includes extended opioids (control group) or the enhanced recovery group (experimental), which includes preemptive pain control, targeted education, and multimodal opioid-sparing pain management during the intraoperative and postoperative periods. The expected outcome is that the enhanced recovery program will significantly reduce opioid utilization with comparable pain scores and patient satisfaction after anorectal surgery.

The study will enroll 30 opioid-dependent participants into an open-label pilot outpatient study of methods to facilitate induction and stabilization onto XR-NTX. There will be three different methods of XR-NTX induction using increasing doses of oral naltrexone and buprenophine.
