NCT ID: NCT03547622

Last Updated: 2022-08-19

Results Overview

Number of participants who were able to taper to 0 mg from methadone or buprenorphine over 10 weeks of treatment. Data about current medication and dose in mg was collected at the start of treatment (week 1) was recorded on a weekly medical sheet. Data was then collected weekly from participant self-report and verified through the clinic database.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: during 10 weeks of study and up to 3 months after the end of opioid taper

Number of participants who were able to taper to 0 mg from methadone or buprenorphine over 10 weeks of treatment. Data about current medication and dose in mg was collected at the start of treatment (week 1) was recorded on a weekly medical sheet. Data was then collected weekly from participant self-report and verified through the clinic database.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Data at week 0 (baseline) and week 10 (post treatment)

opioid withdrawal score at week 0 (baseline) and at 10 weeks (post treatment). 11-item scale designed to be administered by a clinician. Rates common signs and symptoms of opiate withdrawal and can be monitored over time. The summed score for the complete scale can be used to help clinicians determine the stage or severity of opiate withdrawal and assess the level of physical dependence on opioids. Score of 5-12 = mild; 13-24=moderate; 25-36=moderately severe; more than 36=severe withdrawal (Scale of 0 to 40).
