Brief Summary:
The epidemic of opioid overdose deaths continues to rise, killing more persons in 2017 than HIV/AIDS at the height of that epidemic. Medication assisted treatment, including methadone and buprenorphine, is the standard of care for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). However, chronic pain can reduce treatment efficacy during medication assisted treatment and is associated with illicit substance relapse, dropout, and subsequent overdose. Mechanisms by which chronic pain may influence the impulsive decision making (e.g., drug relapse) in persons with OUD have not been well characterized. A better understanding is needed of decision-making in this population. Two factors that can influence decisions to use drugs are impulsivity and acute opioid withdrawal. This proposal will test how chronic pain is associated with increases in impulsive decision making in OUD, whether impulsive decision making is greater when undergoing opioid withdrawal, and how catastrophizing may modify the association between withdrawal and impulsive decision making in patients with chronic pain and OUD. An ideal population for this developmental research project are methadone maintained patients, who show high treatment attendance rates and will therefore assure study efficiency and reliable completion.
Detailed Description:
This is an outpatient Phase 1 clinical trial investigating the effect of naloxone precipitated withdrawal on delay discounting. Eligible participants will undergo two experimental sessions presented in random order. One session will involve the measurement of delay discounting 30 minutes after double-blind intramuscular (IM) administration of placebo (normal saline) and the other will have the exact same procedures performed after double-blind IM administration of naloxone (0.1 mg). Injections will occur 2 hours after methadone dosing (peak levels). Study sessions will last 2 hours and involve pain and opioid withdrawal measures assessed at baseline and 15 minute intervals after injections. The participant should be back to baseline and free of withdrawal by the end of the study session. Sessions will occur at least 48 hours apart.
