11 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is to compare two groups undergoing opioid weaning as ordered by their referring physicians. One group will undergo the standard opioid weaning process and the other group will have the addition of the NADA Protocol to the weaning process.
The Investigators hope to learn if they can prevent or lessen the symptoms of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in babies born to narcotic-dependent mothers by using the drug ondansetron in the mothers prior to delivery and their babies after delivery. The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with one half the mother-baby pairs to receive ondansetron and the other half of the mother-baby pairs to receive placebo. The pregnant narcotic-dependent mothers will receive an intravenous dose of study medication prior to delivery; the neonates, after their birth, will receive the same study medication the mother received every 24 hours for up to 5 days. The Investigators will follow up with the mother-baby pairs for 10 days after study drug has stopped and one last follow up, about 30 days after stopping study drug, to learn if the baby had any symptoms of NAS in that time period.
The purpose of this study is to determine if buprenorphine or methadone is better for the treatment of chronic pain among patients who have become addicted to prescription narcotics.
This research is being done to better understand and test if the investigators can minimize narcotic medication for controlling pain after thyroid or parathyroid surgery. This research will be performed at Doctors Hospital At Renaissance in the investigators clinic and the perioperative area. Participants will be randomly chosen to receive one of two options for pain management that the investigators are already using in the care of patients after surgery. One option includes a narcotic medication and one option includes a non-narcotic and a narcotic as needed. Participants will be asked to complete a form about the level of pain and how much pain medication was needed after surgery in the hospital and while at home. Participants will not have to do any additional visits to participate in this study. The investigators will obtain the research materials at the same time as the usual care visits around the participants' surgery.
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 designed to examine the effects of combined buprenorphine and voucher incentives to promote abstinence from illicit opiate use, along with or without computer-delivered therapy, during treatment of opioid dependence.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if semaglutide can reduce illicit opioid use in adults in outpatient treatment for opioid use disorder, and who are receiving either buprenorphine or methadone maintenance treatment. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does semaglutide increase the likelihood that participants will refrain from using illicit and nonprescribed opioids? The investigators will compare semaglutide to a placebo (a needle prick that contains no drug) to see if semaglutide works to reduce use of illicit and nonprescribed opioids. The participants will: * Take semaglutide or a placebo every week for 12 weeks * Visit the clinic every week for urine drug screening and pregnancy testing, vital signs, and to complete mental health and drug use questionnaires * Complete smartphone surveys sent at set times during the study
1. Evaluate differences between patients taking Duloxetine or placebo following lateral lumbar interbody fusion for postoperative narcotic consumption. 2. Evaluate differences between patients taking Duloxetine or placebo following lateral lumbar interbody fusion for postoperative pain, function, and quality of life. 3. Evaluate the correlation between preoperative screening tests (measuring pain centralization, anxiety, depression, and overall function) and patients' response to treatment (reduction in pain, anxiety, or depression and improvement in function).
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 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
The RECOVER Study will examine clinical, environmental and socioeconomic factors in recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) over a 24-month period following exit from a Phase III clinical program for a buprenorphine extended-release injection (RBP-6000). The study population will consist of participants from studies NCT02357901 (RB-US-13-0001) and NCT02510014 (RB-US-13-0003). The RECOVER study will characterize OUD subjects' recovery process as they transition from the controlled clinical trial environment to the real world setting.
