Assessing microstructural and functional connectivity differences between infants with prenatal opioid exposure and opioid naive infants

Investigating Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Identifying Withdrawal Symptoms in Infants Exposed to Opioids

Recruiting
100 years and younger
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates whether MRI scans of the brain can identify infants who will experience withdrawal symptoms after being exposed to opioids before birth. The study aims to find differences in brain structure and function using MRI in infants who have been exposed to opioids compared to those who have not been exposed. Additionally, it seeks to identify differences in those exposed infants who require further opioid treatment after birth and those who do not.

Participants will undergo MRI procedures to assess brain differences. MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a test that uses magnets and radio waves to create pictures of organs and tissues inside the body. This study will compare the MRI results of infants with different levels of opioid exposure and treatment needs.

  • Who can participate: Mothers aged over 18 years with a history of opioid misuse and their infants born after 36 weeks are eligible, provided the mothers are enrolled in a prenatal opioid maintenance program. Infants must be less than or equal to 48 weeks corrected gestational age at the time of MRI. Exclusion criteria include mothers and infants with significant medical complications or other drug dependencies. Healthy mothers with no drug use and their infants can also participate as controls.
  • Study details: Participants will have MRI scans of their infants' brains to study differences related to opioid exposure. A placebo is not involved in this study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
