Focused Ultrasound for Tobacco Use Disorder

Washington D.C., District of Columbia
The goal of this clinical trial is to to inhibit the dorsal anterior insula (dAI) with low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to determine the causal role for the dAI in smoking cue induced craving in individuals with tobacco use disorder (TUD); smoking cue induced craving is a clinically important behavior which has been associated with the severity of nicotine addiction. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * the safety and tolerability of dAI LIFU compared to sham stimulation in individuals with TUD * the effects of LIFU vs sham to left dAI functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) BOLD activity and craving in response to smoking cue exposure. Participants will undergo anatomical MRI, neurological assessment, clinical assessment and patient query to assess the safety and tolerability of LIFU vs sham. Participants will undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging where we will measure the effect of LIFU vs sham on 1) dAI blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) activation in response to smoking (compared to neutral) cue exposure and 2) cue-induced craving in individuals with TUD. Each participant will receive LIFU and sham stimulation.

Employment-Based Abstinence Reinforcement for Opioid Use Disorder

Baltimore, Maryland
Poverty and opioid addiction are interrelated and chronic problems which have not been addressed adequately. The Therapeutic Workplace could treat the many adults with opioid use disorder who are unemployed and live in poverty. The Therapeutic Workplace pays participants to work. To promote drug abstinence, the Therapeutic Workplace arranges employment-based abstinence reinforcement in which participants are required to provide drug-free urine samples to maintain maximum wages. Many studies have shown that employment-based abstinence reinforcement in the Therapeutic Workplace can promote and maintain drug abstinence. Recently, the investigators showed that abstinence-contingent wage supplements in the Therapeutic Workplace could promote drug abstinence and employment and reduce poverty. However, the investigators have not demonstrated the real-world impacts of the Therapeutic Workplace. The Therapeutic Workplace requires two modifications to produce real world impacts. 1. The investigators must develop a real-world version of the Therapeutic Workplace that community treatment programs can implement. 2. The investigators must reduce the costs of maintaining employment-based abstinence reinforcement. This application seeks to develop and evaluate a low-cost Therapeutic Workplace that community treatment programs can implement and that addresses the persistent nature of opioid addiction and poverty. The investigators propose to conduct a Stage III study in which a community clinic (REACH Health Services) adapts and implements the Therapeutic Workplace intervention. To improve the feasibility of this intervention, the investigators will use low-cost abstinence-contingent wage supplements to maintain abstinence. The investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of the low-cost abstinence-contingent wage supplements in a community Therapeutic Workplace to maintain long-term drug abstinence and employment, and to reduce poverty in adults with opioid use disorder. All participants will be invited to attend a 4-week induction period and 48 weeks of support by an employment specialist. At the end of a 4-week induction period, REACH unemployed methadone or buprenorphine patients with opioid use disorder who meet the Induction Period inclusion criteria (N=225) will be randomly assigned to a "Usual Care Control," an "Initiation Only," or an "Initiation and Maintenance" group. All groups will be offered methadone or buprenorphine treatment and an employment specialist for 48 weeks. "Initiation Only" and "Initiation and Maintenance" participants will earn high magnitude abstinence-contingent wage supplements during a 24-week Initiation period (weeks 1-24). "Initiation and Maintenance" participants will also earn low-magnitude abstinence-contingent wage supplements during a 24-week Maintenance period (weeks 25-48). The investigators will base the primary outcome measures on assessments conducted every four weeks of the Maintenance period. If low-cost abstinence-contingent wage supplements in the community Therapeutic Workplace maintain drug abstinence and employment and decrease poverty, community drug abuse treatment clinics could apply this intervention widely as a long-term maintenance treatment for unemployed adults with opioid use disorder.

Virtual Counseling for Tobacco Addiction

Baltimore, Maryland
To inform a future randomized trial of a virtual counselor led computer delivered intervention for tobacco cessation augmented with community health worker (CHW) support and navigation to lung cancer screening in low-income housing units in Baltimore, the investigators propose to collect data on intervention acceptability and feasibility among individuals in public housing as well as feedback on use of shared decision making when referring for low-dose chest CT (LDCT). The investigators will conduct a feasibility pilot study of a virtual counselor plus community health worker intervention. With a sample of participants from public housing units (N=15), the investigators will collect data on feasibility of recruitment, intervention engagement and completion, and short-term smoking cessation outcomes. Individuals will be assessed at baseline, 1 month and 3 months. At the end of three months, the investigators will conduct follow up interviews with a subset of pilot participants to collect qualitative data on intervention acceptability. Based on this information, the investigators will make iterative improvements to the combined intervention.

Peer Behavioral Intervention for HIV

Washington D.C., District of Columbia
This randomized Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial (N=186) will evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of a peer-delivered problem solving and behavioral activation intervention for adherence to LAI-PrEP/ART ("Peer Activate-LAI") compared to enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) for a largely Black, substance-using population living with or at high risk for HIV. Specific aims are to: Aim 1: Evaluate the effectiveness of Peer Activate-LAI over 12-months on: a) LAI-PrEP/ART adherence (primary; receipt of all 6 maintenance injections within 7-day window); and b) substance use (secondary; WHOASSIST, urine toxicology); and c) Explore the moderating role of SRD-related factors (exploratory) Aim 2: To evaluate the implementation of Peer Activate-LAI including feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and adoption guided by RE-AIM and Proctor's model,12,13 assessed using mixed methods, including a rapid ethnographic assessment of how SRD-related factors may affect implementation. Aim 3: To evaluate the economic viability of Peer Activate-LAI, including a) cost of implementation and sustainment, and b) cost-effectiveness from multiple stakeholder perspectives. This study will inform a potentially scalable, cost-effective model for facilitating effective adherence to LAI formulations of PrEP/ART within Black, substance-using populations with multiple minority identities who to date have had limited support for improving LAI adherence for HIV treatment and prevention.

Neuropharmacological Imaging for Addiction

Baltimore, Maryland
Background: \- Functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have allowed researchers to map and study how the brain works when at rest and when engaged in specific tasks. MRI scans have provided more information about how drugs affect the brain, and about how drug addiction changes the brain and influences behavior, mood, and thinking processes. To better understand the underlying mechanism of drug addiction and to develop strategies for more effective treatment, researchers are interested in developing new MRI techniques to study the effects of addiction on the brain. Objectives: \- To develop new functional and structural MRI techniques, and to evaluate their potential use in brain imaging studies related to addiction. Eligibility: * Individuals between 18 and 80 years of age. * Participants may be smokers or nonsmokers, and may use drugs or not use drugs. Design: * During the initial screening, participants will complete questionnaires about family and personal history, drug use, and other information as required by the researchers. Participants who will be asked to complete tasks during the MRI scan will be shown how to perform these tasks before the scanning session. * Before each study session, participants may be asked to complete some or all of the following: questions about their drug use during the last week, a breathalyzer test, a urine drug-use assessment, a urine pregnancy test, or a measure of carbon monoxide. Participants will also provide blood samples before the start of the scan. * For each scanning session, participants will have an MRI scan that will last approximately 2 hours. * MRI scans may include specific tasks to be performed during the scan, or an experiment that studies the brain's response to carbon dioxide.

Etch-Free Adhesive for Bracket Bonding

Baltimore, Maryland
This randomized, split-mouth clinical trial will evaluate a new orthodontic adhesive that eliminates the need for acid etching before bracket bonding. Conventional orthodontic bonding requires etching enamel with phosphoric acid, which can weaken the outer enamel layer and increase the risk of white spot lesions and enamel damage. The etch-free adhesive under investigation is designed to simplify the bonding procedure while preserving enamel integrity. Twenty orthodontic patients starting treatment with braces will participate. For each patient, one side of the mouth (left or right) will be randomly assigned to receive the etch-free adhesive, while the opposite side will receive the conventional adhesive with acid etching. This intra-patient design allows a direct comparison under identical oral conditions. Participants will be followed for 12 months. Bracket failures, bonding time, ease of adhesive removal, enamel surface condition after debonding, and the presence of white spot lesions will be recorded. If effective, the etch-free adhesive may reduce enamel damage without compromising bond strength, providing a safer and more efficient bonding option for orthodontic patients.

Ending Self-Stigma Program for HIV/AIDS with Substance Use

Baltimore, Maryland
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an intervention to reduce stigma among people living with HIV who use opioids and cocaine. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does reducing internalized stigma about HIV and/or drug use lead to improved HIV care outcomes? After a year spent adapting an existing intervention to be applied specifically among people living with HIV who use substances, 70 participants will be randomized to receive either treatment-as-usual or the newly adapted intervention. The intervention itself will consist of five one-on-one sessions with a trained interventionist to discuss and work through the stigmas people commonly associate with HIV and/or substance use.

Buprenorphine for Opioid Addiction during Pregnancy

Huntington, West Virginia
This is a sub-study of NIDA CTN Protocol 0080: Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder in Expectant Mothers (MOMs; Unique protocol ID: 2019-0429-1). Participants in MOMs will be offered the opportunity to enroll in this sub-study, which is designed to evaluate conceptual models of the mechanisms by which extended-release buprenorphine (BUP-XR), may improve mother-infant outcomes, compared to sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL). The additional data collected in this sub-study will be combined with data from the main MOMs trial. It is hypothesized that: (1) the buprenorphine blood levels will vary, depending on which formulation of buprenorphine was received, (2) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels will be associated with fetal behavior (including fetal heart rate variability) (3) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels will be associated with differences in mother outcomes (including medication adherence and illicit opioid use) (4) the variation in buprenorphine blood levels and in fetal behavior will be associated with infant outcomes (including neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and infant development).

Social Network Intervention for HIV Prevention

Frederick, Maryland
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a social network intervention to recruit people who inject drugs and their networks for HIV testing and linkage to HIV prevention and treatment services in Maryland. Study aims are to determine the effectiveness of a social network driven intervention to increase: * HIV testing (primary); * PrEP knowledge; * Uptake of HIV services and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP); * Uptake of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) initiation. Eligible participants who access syringe service programs (SSPs) serving two counties in Maryland and their risk network members (NMs) will be recruited using an established network inventory and coupon recruitment method. When an index successfully recruits NMs, the index-NM cluster will be randomized to either a peer-educator intervention arm or an equal-attention control arm. Index participants randomized to the peer-educator intervention arm will complete a training program adapted with stakeholder input to context that emphasizes effective communication, frequent HIV testing, and awareness of evidence-based HIV prevention and treatment services. An important innovation to the network intervention will be training indexes to use and distribute HIV self-test kits and naloxone to their NMs. Index participants randomized to the equal-attention control arm will receive training sessions focused on the opioid overdose epidemic and will not include any training to serve as a peer educator. All participants (indexes and NMs) will complete study assessments at baseline and at 3 and 9 months. We will compare the peer-educator intervention group and the equal-attention control group on rates of HIV testing, knowledge of PrEP options and resources, and rates of initiation of HIV treatment, PrEP, and MOUD treatment since the previous assessment (past 3 or 6 months).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Adhd clinical trials in Virginia pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Adhd clinical trials in Virginia work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Adhd trials in Virginia 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Virginia for Adhd is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Virginia several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Adhd medical study in Virginia?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Adhd clinical trials in Virginia?

Most recently, we added Direct Mail Marketing Influence on Tobacco Use Disorder, Iron Supplementation for ADHD and Restless Sleep and Cannabidiol for Alcoholism to the Power online platform.

How to manage ADHD without Adderall?

Think of ADHD care without Adderall as three pillars: 1) proven skills training such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or parent/teacher coaching, which meta-analyses show can meaningfully cut inattentive and impulsive symptoms; 2) daily habits that boost brain chemicals—consistent aerobic exercise, 7-9 hours of sleep, and a balanced, low-sugar diet—each backed by research to modestly improve focus; 3) targeted add-ons (omega-3 fish-oil supplements, mindfulness practice, or professionally guided neurofeedback) that have small but credible benefits for some people. Work with a clinician to combine, test, and adjust these pieces every few months so you know what is actually helping and can add non-stimulant medicines later if needed.

Are we over diagnosing ADHD?

Rates of ADHD diagnosis have climbed, and studies confirm that some children—especially the youngest in a class or from more advantaged families—get the label and medication they may not truly need. At the same time, girls, adults, and many minorities with real symptoms are often missed, so the issue is less “too much” diagnosis overall and more “diagnosis in the wrong people.” Asking for a full evaluation that checks symptoms in several settings and rules out sleep, mood, or learning problems is the best safeguard against both mistakes.

What is the latest research on ADHD?

Recent work is mapping ADHD on two fronts: cause and treatment. On the biology side, a 2023 genome-wide study involving >40 000 people pinpointed 30+ gene regions, MRI scans show disrupted communication between attention- and reward-circuits, and several studies find distinct gut-bacteria patterns in both kids and adults—together suggesting ADHD arises from a mix of genes, brain-network wiring and (still-early) gut influences. Translating this, clinicians now have newer options beyond classic stimulants—FDA-approved viloxazine XR, long-acting patches, the prescription video-game EndeavorRx, and small but promising trials of neurofeedback and cognitive training—so ask your doctor about standard medications plus these emerging tools that may soon allow more personalized care.

Does Johnny Depp have ADHD?

There is no credible public record—interview, court document, or medical statement—showing that Johnny Depp has been formally diagnosed with ADHD; the claim stems from unsourced online lists that repeat each other. Until Depp or a qualified clinician confirms otherwise, any statement that he “has ADHD” should be treated as unverified speculation; if you need information about ADHD, rely on a licensed health professional, not celebrity rumors.

What is the 80 20 rule ADHD?

For someone with ADHD, the 80/20 rule means spotting the 20 % of tasks or habits that create about 80 % of your desired results—then protecting time and attention to do those first, ideally when your medication or energy is at its peak. This cuts overwhelm because you give yourself permission to ignore low-impact busywork and instead break the high-impact tasks into small, doable steps (using timers, alerts, or an accountability partner). Think of it as a focusing lens, not a cure; pair it with your regular ADHD treatments and adjust the “vital 20 %” as your goals change.

Is ADHD a disability?

Yes—ADHD is treated as a disability when the symptoms are strong enough to “substantially limit” everyday activities like focusing, learning, or working, which is exactly how U.S. laws such as the ADA, Section 504, and Social Security define disability. A diagnosis alone isn’t enough; you need documentation that the condition is causing real-world problems, after which schools, employers, or benefit programs must consider reasonable supports (extra time, quiet workspace, flexible scheduling, etc.). If you think ADHD is holding you back, gather medical records and examples of how it affects your tasks and formally ask for accommodations or benefits under the relevant program.

What makes ADHD people happy?

Studies show that people with ADHD feel happiest when four things line up: (1) their core symptoms are tamed with medication and/or ADHD-specific therapy, (2) predictable routines, reminders, exercise, and good sleep cut daily chaos, (3) they spend real time in activities that match their high interests and creativity, and (4) they’re surrounded by family, friends, or support groups that understand ADHD rather than shame it. Put simply: treat the symptoms, externalize organization, lean into your passions, and stay connected to people who “get” you—those combined levers consistently raise quality-of-life scores for both kids and adults with ADHD.

How much weight did you lose on ADHD medication?

Weight loss on stimulant ADHD medicines is usually modest and highly individual—clinical trials show average drops of about 3–5 lb (1–2 kg) in the first month and roughly 6–10 lb (3–4 kg) over the first 3–6 months, with only one-third of people losing more than 5 % of their starting weight before the effect levels off. Weigh yourself (or your child) weekly; if you see more than a 10 % fall from baseline or a slowdown in growth, talk with the prescriber about dose timing, nutrition strategies, or switching to a non-stimulant option.

What makes ADHD worse in adults?

Anything that further strains the brain’s self-regulation system can flare adult ADHD: lack of sleep or exercise, chronic stress, unmanaged anxiety/depression, inconsistent medication or substance use, hormonal shifts, and chaotic, screen-heavy environments. Focus on the controllables—protect 7-9 h of sleep, move daily, eat regular balanced meals, keep spaces and schedules simple, treat co-existing mood issues, and take medication exactly as prescribed—then review persisting problems with your clinician.

Is there still ADHD med shortage?

Yes—into 2024 many pharmacies still report spot shortages of popular stimulant ADHD medicines, especially immediate-release Adderall, several methylphenidate/Concerta generics, and some Vyvanse doses, because factory slow-downs and federally capped production haven’t kept up with rising prescriptions. Availability varies week-to-week and by location, so call a few pharmacies early, ask if a different strength or brand is in stock, and have your prescriber ready to adjust the prescription or discuss a short-term non-stimulant alternative if needed.
