Study: NCT06367387

Intervention type: DRUG
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Patient-Oriented Dosing (POD)
Description: Patient-oriented dosing (POD) is a promising approach to using buprenorphine or buprenorphine/naloxone to treat individuals with both OUD and chronic pain. It is based on existing evidence related to buprenorphine for the treatment of pain. POD allows participants to receive a daily dosage of bup up to 32mg/day, split up to 4 times per day.~A response-guided dosing strategy, in which buprenorphine or buprenorphine/naloxone doses will be titrated based on a participant response, will be used to identify a dose regimen that is safe and effective. Due to inter-individual pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic variability, POD dosing will be individualized based on a participant's pain intensity and interference.

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Pain Self-Management (PSM)
Description: Pain self-management (PSM) is a manualized behavioral intervention consisting of 12 sessions, comprising 6 group and 6 individual sessions. The first session will be individual, followed by a group session, and then alternating weekly for the remainder of the intervention.~Individual sessions will be led by a staff Interventionist trained in the pain self-management intervention. The interventionist will guide participants through a PSM study manual, providing education, teaching associated skills, and assisting with goal setting.~Group sessions will be led by a Peer Facilitator who has experience with chronic pain, opioid use disorder, and buprenorphine treatment. These sessions will not have specific content but will serve as supportive forums for participants to discuss their experiences with the intervention, share tips for managing chronic pain, and provide mutual support.

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Usual Care
Description: Usual care, or treatment as usual, refers to the standard of care that participants receive at their office-based addiction treatment (OBAT) clinic. This includes discussing issues related to chronic pain and opioid use (e.g., buprenorphine) with their provider and receiving clinical care for these conditions.
