Study Summary

This is a study of tramadol as an agent for short-term opioid withdrawal treatment. A randomized, double blind clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of tramadol to clonidine and buprenorphine in the short-term treatment of opioid withdrawal will be conducted. Opioid dependent participants will be treated on a residential unit. The primary outcome measure is opioid withdrawal symptoms.

Primary Outcome

Outcomes represent mean peak withdrawal as rated on the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) total score. Withdrawal was collected 7 times daily and daily peak values were identified for each participant and averaged together as a function of group. Primary outcomes were mean peak results from the 7-day taper period and first 7 days post-taper. The COWS is an 11-item observer-rated measure of opioid withdrawal severity. Items are rated on individual Likert scales and the total score range is
