This study involves testing how useful a technology-enhanced therapy is for pregnant people prescribed buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, compared to medication monitoring. Participants are randomized to one of the conditions. Participants randomized to receive the therapy will attend four 60-minute therapy appointments during pregnancy with an additional 30-minute therapy session towards the end of pregnancy, and 6 additional monthly postpartum (after childbirth) sessions (0-6 months postpartum). As part of the therapy program, participants will receive access to a mobile application, which will be accessible for the duration of the study. Participants randomized to medication monitoring will be asked to log each time the medication is taken for a two month period. All participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at enrollment and again at 3-month postpartum and 6-months postpartum, and will be contacted randomly throughout the study to perform a medication count. The total duration of the study is between 8-12 months depending on when enrollment occurs (early second trimester-mid third trimester). Compensation up to $310 is provided.
The purpose of this study is to study the effectiveness of steroids after sleep surgery in improving pain, reducing difficulties in swallowing, and reducing the amount of narcotic pain medication after surgery. This study also want to see what dosage of steroids, whether intravenous or oral, are more effective at reducing these symptoms and providing a more effective surgical procedure for your sleep apnea. Anyone planning to undergo sleep surgery for your obstructive sleep apnea at the recommendation of the Sleep Surgery Division here at MUSC is invited to participate in this study. The study will be using both intravenous and oral dexamethasone, a very common and widely used steroid. This steroid has been FDA approved for many medical indications.
The study is designed to look at the usefulness and safety of Solriamfetol (versus placebo) for the treatment of excessive sleepiness associated with shift work disorder (SWD). Study staff nor the participants will know if they are receiving a study drug or placebo. Participants will be male or female subjects 18-65 years old with a diagnosis of SWD. The study will last approximately 17 weeks, with 6 in-person visits and 8 remote visits for each participant.
This is a study to learn more about the use of a study medicine for the treatment of Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH). The total duration of the study is approximately 3 1/2 months. Men and women between the ages of 18-75, with a primary diagnosis of IH, may be eligible.
This research study aims to compare usual care with a patient navigation intervention for children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). SDB is a range of symptoms from snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea. In the REPOSE intervention, a centralized patient navigator will find out the dynamic individual barriers that families face in caring for their child with SDB. They will also provide resources and social support for parent-child dyads. In addition, the navigator facilitates bidirectional SDB care coordination between clinical teams and parents to achieve evidence-based care. The patient navigation intervention group will be compared to the group of children receiving standard of care.
This Study will assess whether 20 mg of seltorexant compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to an SSRI/SNRI antidepressant improves depressive symptoms in participants with MDD and insomnia who have had an inadequate response to current SSRI/SNRI antidepressant therapy.
This study involves testing how useful a technology-enhanced intervention is for pregnant people prescribed buprenorphine for the management of opioid use disorder. The intervention being studied is a brief skill building protocol and a mobile application. Participation involves four 60-90-minute skill building appointments during pregnancy, and four 30-minute check-in visits at the end of pregnancy through 3 months postpartum. The mobile application will be accessible for at least the duration of the study. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at enrollment and again at 1-month postpartum and 3-months postpartum, will send monthly photos of their prescription bottle/box, and will be contacted randomly throughout the study to perform a medication count. The total duration of the study is between 5-9 months depending on when you enroll. Compensation is provided.
