Screening in Trauma for Opioid Misuse Prevention - an Adaptive Intervention
Screening in Trauma for Opioid Misuse Prevention - an Adaptive Intervention (STOMP-AI)
University of Wisconsin, Madison
107 participants
Aug 13, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The primary objective of the present pilot, sequential, multiple-assignment randomized trial (Pilot SMART) is to determine feasibility and acceptability of delivering (from the perspective of the treatment/intervention staff) and receiving (from the perspective of the patient) an adaptive intervention for reducing rates of opioid misuse and preventing development of opioid use disorder in individuals hospitalized for traumatic injury. A complimentary secondary objective is to ensure the feasibility of conducting a future, multi-site, full-scale SMART. Approximately 107 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria7
- Able to speak, read, and write fluently in English.
- Admission to site hospital for a traumatic injury at time of screening. A traumatic injury is defined as a physical injury with sudden onset requiring immediate medical attention.
- Injury severity score of 9 or greater.
- Meets at least one of the following descriptions below:
- Received 40 mg morphine milligram equivalent (MME) within 48 hours of pre-screening; or
- Discharged with a prescription for an opioid medication.
- Expected to be in control of their own medications at the time of discharge from the controlled environment of hospital or short-term rehabilitation.
Exclusion Criteria13
- Inability to provide written consent for any reason.
- Current self-reported diagnosis of cancer with life expectancy less than 12 months at time of screening.
- Current prescription for opioid use disorder (e.g., suboxone, buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), with a current diagnosis of opioid use disorder (OUD) (mild or greater) not in remission.
- History of dementing illnesses and other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or vascular dementia.
- Current significant traumatic brain injury (defined as the presence of any intracranial blood on Computed Tomography scan of the head or best Glasgow Coma Scale Score of less than 13 at the time of screening).
- Current spinal cord injury with persistent neurologic deficit at the time of screening.
- Acute stroke immediately prior to/upon admission, or emergent stroke as a new event during hospitalization.
- Any vision or hearing impairments resulting in an inability to complete study procedures.
- Current pregnancy, as indicated by chart review and self-report.
- Involved in any criminal justice proceedings related to illicit substance use at time of screening.
- Incarcerated or in police custody at time of study enrollment.
- Admitted to the hospital with a burn affecting >10% total body surface area, as indicated by chart review.
- Any medical, physical, cognitive, or psychiatric conditions that would limit the participant's ability to provide informed consent or complete study procedures, as determined by study staff and/or investigators.

Interventions
A brief battery of self-reported screeners for risk factors associated with opioid misuse (e.g., Current Opioid Misuse Measure; Pain, Enjoyment of life, and General activities scale; Pain Catastrophizing Scale). These measures will be administered within seven days of hospital discharge (i.e., baseline), and again at 2-, 4-, 8-, and 12-weeks following discharge to assess for ongoing risk for opioid misuse. Participants will additionally complete the self-reported Opioid Risk Tool within seven days of hospital discharge.
An enhanced care management model with increased patient contact and embedded interventions based on clinical presentation and collaboration with the patient. eTCC is a telehealth-based care coordinating intervention where a care coordinator assesses the participant, creates a plan of care, collaborates with the eTCC team, follows up with a second virtual visit within a week, and communicates with the participant and care team at least bi-weekly for the 3 month intervention period.
PCST-LITE will consist of a single 55-minute videoconference session, in which participants will receive brief psychoeducation grounded in gate control theory, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), and therapist-guided imagery. Participants will be asked to practice PMR and imagery daily and will receive four weeks of regular (4-5 times per week) text messaging as a reminder.
Standard Trauma Care Coordination (sTCC) will functionally serve as a treatment-as-usual arm, as it will involve no study intervention.
PCST+ will include two videoconferencing sessions, in addition to the first videoconferencing session they previously received. In session 1, participants will be taught an activity/rest cycle to schedule activities, so they are productive while avoiding increasing pain severity due to taking insufficient breaks. Session 2 centers around cognitive restructuring, involving brief psychoeducation and skills development surrounding how participants might recognize the influence that cognitions can have on pain intensity and coping. Participants will receive 3 weekly, 15-minute calls to review skills and problem-solve.
PCST-M consists of five weekly booster calls from the patient's study therapist to reinforce the techniques covered in the initial PCST-Lite session.
