New treatment option for Opioid-Related Disorders
Official title Developing a Smartphone Application to Support Veteran Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06454903
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a complex, chronic condition affecting nearly 70,000 Veterans who can experience significantly reduced quality of life (e.g., poorer social, occupational, and health-related functioning). VA clinics providing Medication treatment for OUD (MOUD; e.g., buprenorphine, methadone), the 1st-line treatment for OUD, often face challenges in also attempting to treat Veteran functional needs, which may require them to extend beyond their available resources to provide support.
