Active clinical trials for "Opioid-Related Disorders"

This study will compare medically-supervised withdrawal (MSW, 'detoxification') to opioid agonist treatment (OAT, 'maintenance') with buprenorphine for pregnant women with opioid use disorder in terms of maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes. Outcomes will be assessed during pregnancy, at birth and for 12 months postpartum. This study has the potential to impact health service policy and practices in terms of the treatment options of pregnant women with opioid use disorder.

This study will evaluate whether a dual orexin-receptor antagonist approved by the FDA for sleep disturbance, suvorexant (SUVO; Belsomra), will increase total sleep time in patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) undergoing supervised withdrawal. This study is designed as a dose-finding study of SUVO compared to placebo. Briefly, OUD patients seeking supervised withdrawal will be admitted into a clinical research unit and stabilized onto buprenorphine for three days before being randomly assigned to study condition. All participants will then undergo a routine four-day buprenorphine taper, followed by a four-day post-taper phase. Participants will be randomized to receive either placebo, Low Dose SUVO, or High Dose SUVO and the investigators hypothesize that one or both doses of SUVO will improve total sleep time relative to placebo. Patients will attend a single follow-up session, 5-10 days following discharge.

The purpose of this study is to pilot test a smartphone application that allows video-based directly observed therapy for participants receiving buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder in office-based settings. This application may help participants take their medication more regularly so that they are successful in treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either using a smartphone application that allows them to take daily videos confirming their buprenorphine medication ingestion or they will continue with their care as usual (treatment-as-usual or TAU). The primary study outcome will be the percentage of weekly study urine drug tests that are negative for opiates between baseline and 12 weeks post-randomization. The secondary outcome will be engagement in treatment at week 12.

This is a pilot feasibility study of a virtual reality device for patients with co-morbid chronic pain and opioid use disorder.

The overall purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of values-based behavioral activation (BA) as an adjunct intervention for patients receiving medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) in primary care. Researcher will evaluate the following aims: 1) examine the feasibility of BA for OUD in primary care, 2) examine whether the BA intervention and study requirements are acceptable to participants, and 3) determine the psychometric properties of the outcome measures in people with OUD. Participants will complete 4-6 brief counseling sessions over the course of 12 weeks. During the first session, participants will discuss values and recovery outcomes important to them. Next, they will set 2-3 personal goals to work on before the next BA session. At the follow-up sessions, participants will update the counselor on progress made or challenges experienced. Personal values will be reviewed and participant goals updated. Study measures (surveys and urine drug tests) will be completed at the start, partway through, and at the end of the intervention.

The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility of an at-home digital therapy designed to support buprenorphine initiation and adherence.

The overarching goal of this project is to expand the traditional expertise in non-invasive neuromodulation at the University of Minnesota towards developing novel paired-neuromodulation approaches using transcrancial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for new addiction treatments that support long-term abstinence. This study will investigate whether the pairing of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) stimulation and cognitive training can enhance functional connectivity between DLPFC and nucleus accumbens (NAcc). We have identified higher functional connectivity between DLPFC and NAcc in alcoholics that have successfully maintained abstinence for extended periods of time (7 years). This paired-neuromodulation approach can potentially be used as a therapeutic intervention to decrease substance use probability in addiction (e.g. opioid use disorder). The long term goal is to develop new addiction treatments that support long-term abstinence in opioid use disorder. The overall objective of this proposal is to enhance functional connectivity between DLPFC and NAcc as a therapeutic intervention to enhance cognition and reduce substance use rates in opioid use disorder.

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of cannabidiol on reward- and stress-related neurocognitive processes among individuals with opioid use disorder on buprenorphine or methadone treatment.

The purpose of this study is to quantify the serious risks of prescription opioid misuse or abuse or opioid use disorder (OUD) associated with the long term use of opioid analgesics for management of chronic pain, among patients prescribed opioid products.

This study is a collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Prison System, and the North East Treatment Center (NETSteps). It purpose is to study the impact of an injectable opiate addiction medication (extended release naltrexone) given before reentry into the community that might help to improve reconnection to healthcare and other support systems, and possibly help reduce recidivism.
