Description

Summary

To investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying opioid approach bias during a pilot RCT of opioid approach bias modification. The investigators are combining novel ultra-high field MRI technology with the promising treatment of modifying cognitive bias away from detrimental prescription drug use will generate novel neural data and potentially yield a new therapeutic tool to reduce problematic opioid use.

Official Title

The Neural Basis of Approach Bias Modification in Opioid Users With Chronic Pain

Details

The proposed study is a pilot prospective, parallel groups, randomized, double blind, sham training-controlled, 6-session (over 2 weeks) clinical trial of opioid approach bias modification (OABM) in 20 male and female veterans with chronic pain at high risk for opioid-related adverse events at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Health Care System, between ages 18-69. The study consists of screening, 2-week cognitive training, Week-3 post-assessment. Assessment of the neurobiological mechanisms of opioid approach bias will be administered at baseline and Week-3.
