Optimizing Pharmacologic Treatment for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (OPTimize NOW): A Symptom-Based...

Neonatal Opiate Withdrawal Syndrome

This clinical trial will help us learn more about how to best care for babies with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome, also called NOWS. Babies with NOWS often have tremors, a hard time sleeping, excessive crying, and trouble feeding. Some babies that have NOWS need medicine. Doctors have two ways of providing medicine that are widely used today: Scheduled opioid taper approach. The baby gets medicine at regular times. As symptoms get better, the amount of medicine the baby gets decreases until the baby no longer needs medicine. This is called a medicine taper. Symptom-based approach. The baby will only get medicine when they show signs of NOWS, instead of at regular times. If the baby is showing no signs of NOWS, no medicine will be given. We are doing the OPTimize NOW study to figure out the best way to give medicine to babies with NOWS.

Treatment of Withdrawal Symptoms With NADA Acupuncture in Chronic Pain Patients

Chronic PainOpiate Withdrawal Syndrome

This project aims at examining the following hypotheses: Treatment with NADA and clonidine reduces intensity of withdrawal symptoms to a greater extent than treatment with clonidine. Opioid withdrawal improves pain, physical and mental functioning and reduces opioid consumption 3 months and 1 year after withdrawal.

Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of LUCEMYRA...

Opioid Withdrawal (Disorder)

Stopping prescription opioid pain medications can be difficult due to withdrawal symptoms. This study will test if LUCEMYRA helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and helps more people reduce their opioid dose compared to placebo.

Preventing Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome With Oral Baclofen

Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome

Adult medical/surgical inpatient hospital care is more difficult and more expensive when complicated by alcohol dependency (AD), especially for patients who develop alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). AWS can be mild, moderate or severe. The Severity of Ethanol Withdrawal Scale (SEWS) is tool used to assess severity and is the current standard of care for both monitoring and treating AWS at Denver Health. Moderate/severe AWS (i.e., SEWS ≥ 7) has important clinical implications and requires pharmacological treatment. At present, there are no safe and effective options for preventing AWS in at-risk inpatients. Baclofen is a GABA-B receptor agonist that has been used in the alleviation of spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis since the 1970s. Baclofen has shown promise in the management of alcohol dependency in preclinical and clinical studies. We propose to examine baclofen in the prevention/amelioration of AWS in adult medical inpatients. The investigators hypothesize that Baclofen, as compared to placebo, will significantly reduce the number of adult inpatients with AD who will develop moderate/severe AWS (SEWS ≥ 7) when assessed at 72 hours after enrollment. Further the investigators hypothesize that Baclofen, as compared to placebo, will significantly reduce the need for symptom-triggered benzodiazepine administration during the 72 hours of hospitalization. These hypotheses will be tested in adult inpatients who are determined to be at risk for alcohol withdrawal and are subsequently placed on the SEWS monitoring and treatment protocol. These patients will be randomized to baclofen 10mg three times daily vs placebo.

Dexmedetomidine (Precedex®) for Severe Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS) and Alcohol Withdrawal...

Alcohol Withdrawal DeliriumAlcohol Withdrawal Associated Autonomic Hyperactivity2 more

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of dexmedetomidine versus placebo, with lorazepam rescue, for the management of severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) and alcohol withdrawal delirium (AWD) in critically ill adults. The investigators hypothesize that the integration of dexmedetomidine (Precedex®) with usual therapy for the management of severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) and alcohol withdrawal delirium/delirium tremens (AWD) in critically ill adult patients will reduce the time to resolution of AWS/AWD, increase the number of delirium-free and ventilator-free days in the first 28 days of hospitalization, reduce the length of ICU and hospital stays, and improve neurocognitive and quality of life scores on hospital discharge.

Effects of Auricular Acupressure and Group Counseling on Smoking Cessation Tobacco Withdrawal Symptoms...

Smoking

Objective The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of auricular acupressure and group counseling with positive psychology and motivational interviewing on smoking cessation and tobacco withdrawal symptoms. Methods This study is a single blind randomized controlled trial. This study has been performed at a University in South Korea. 180 smokers and 60 non-smokers will be recruited. Smokers will be randomly assigned to three groups: group 1 (auricular acupressure + group counseling); group 2 (placebo acupressure + group counseling); and the control group (self-help smoking cessation). Group counseling is undertaken once per week for 6 weeks. Auricular acupressure using acupellets is performed for 6 weeks continuously.

Treatment of Withdrawal Symptoms and Prevention of Relapse in Patients With Tramadol Abuse

Opiate Withdrawal Syndrome

Tramadol abuse is a public health problem in Egypt. There are no approved medications for treatment of withdrawal symptoms or prevention of relapse in patients with tramadol abuse. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of venlafaxine and lofixidine in treating the withdrawal symptoms and to compare between venlafaxine and naltrexone in relapse prevention of tramadol abuse. Patients with tramadol abuse will be divided randomly to use venlafaxine or lofixidine after discontinuation of tramadol. The efficacy will be measured by the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale. The medications will be used for 10 days after discontinuation of tramadol. After the detoxification stage, patients who used venlafaxine will continue to use it while patients who used lofixidine will use naltrexone during the relapse prevention phase (2 months).
