Loneliness, which is the perceived feeling of insufficient personal relationships, is related to higher risk for inappropriate opioid use and opioid use disorders in patients who are taking opioids long-term. The study seeks to pilot test the evidence-based loneliness interventions of psychological therapy and social navigation in patients on chronic opioids treated in primary care practices to determine if reducing loneliness can lower opioid misuse.

102 Participants Needed

The objectives of this study are to: 1) evaluate whether Choose to Move (CTM) Phase 4 improves health outcomes in older adults who participate and 2) assess whether CTM Phase 4 is delivered as planned and what factors support or inhibit its delivery at scale. CTM Phase 4 is a 3-month, choice-based program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. The goals of CTM are to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in older adults living in BC, Canada.

Choose to Move for Sedentary Lifestyle

Vancouver, British Columbia
Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. In Phase 5, the goal of CTM is to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in three target populations: South Asian older adults, older men, and older adults living in Northern BC. To do so, the investigators will support community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations through a readiness-building process so they can adapt CTM and deliver the program to these populations. This study has two main research questions: 1. How are adapted CTM programs delivered ('implementation outcomes') and what factors influence delivery ('implementation determinants')? 2. What is the impact of the adapted CTM programs on health outcomes of older adults?

Choose to Move for Sedentary Lifestyle

Vancouver, British Columbia
Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. In this project, the investigators will support community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations across BC through a readiness-building process so they can adapt CTM and deliver the program to more diverse groups of underserved older adults than have previously participated in CTM.

Choose to Move for Aging

Vancouver, British Columbia
Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. In this project, the investigators will expand delivery of the optimized Phase 4 program with large and small partner organizations and will describe and assess scale-up, implementation, and impact of CTM Phase 4.

The study aims to investigate therapeutic virtual reality (VR) facilitation with adult inpatients using VR as an analgesic and anxiolytic during their hospitalization. Specifically, this study will evaluate the outcomes of patients who experience therapeutic VR with and without a trained facilitator as a form of escapism.

200 Participants Needed

Assess the impact of a remote, app-delivered digital meditation intervention on emotional well-being of lonely older adults. Neuroimaging, electrophysiological (EEG), and autonomic physiology will be used to assess the neural correlates of the intervention. EEG and autonomic physiology will be collected while participants watch 30 min of an awe-inspiring movie. fMRI and autonomic physiology will be collected in the context of a social exploration/exploitation task.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

FF
ADHD PatientAge: 31

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Loneliness clinical trials 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 Loneliness clinical trials 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 Loneliness trials 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 for Loneliness 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 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 Loneliness medical study?

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 Loneliness clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Life Story Club for Loneliness and Apathy, Penny COPILOT for Opioid Use Disorder and Therapeutic VR for Pain and Anxiety to the Power online platform.
