What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Illicit-positive Urines During Treatment and Follow-up
Time frame: three months
Sponsor's own description
The proposed project will use fMRI and specific probes of reward and inhibition as biomarkers predicting drug use during and after treatment in 72 subjects addicted to prescription opioids/medications. Subjects will be scanned before, during, and after 12 weeks of active medication. The brain fMRI measures will be correlated with the primary clinical outcome of drug use (by urine drug screen) during the treatment and follow-up phase.
