Adversity, Brain and Opioid Use Study (NCT06355778)
A Mechanistic Investigation of Risk Factors for Opioid Use Disorder: Examining Hippocampal-based Context-dependent Learning and Memory Associated With Adverse Childhood Experiences
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The way people process and remember information may be related to adverse childhood experiences and Opioid Use Disorder symptoms. The purpose of this project is to examine brain function and performance during learning and memory tasks in adults. The study will compare measures of learning and memory across three groups of participants: those with an Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) that take buprenorphine for opioid replacement therapy, adults without an Opioid Use Disorder taking buprenorphine, and healthy adults that do not have an Opioid Use Disorder and are not taking buprenorphine.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (13 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (10 items).
Location: University of Michigan — Ann Arbor, Michigan
Age range: 18 Years to 55 Years
