PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at the end of each two-week maintenance period (i.e., Placebo, Low AV411, High AV411).

Population: Only 30 of the total number of 44 enrolled completed the study .

Measures severity of opioid withdrawal in opioid dependent populations (0-64). Larger values indicate more severe withdrawal.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at the end of each AV411 of the three two-week maintenance periods

The McGill Pain Questionnaire (Melzack, 1987) was used to assess pain experience immediately following the immersion of the hand in 4 degree Celsius water. Scores were added across all 15 items to generate a sum score, which ranged between 15 and 60. Larger scores indicate greater pain levels.
