Quantitative Sensory Psychophysical Correlates of Pain in Pregnant Women With OUD
NCT04888962 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a prospective observational case-control study comparing quantitative sensory testing data preformed during the third trimester of pregnancy and within 24 hours postpartum in women on medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) to a gestational age-controlled cohort of women who do not have OUD. The primary goal is to measure elements of quantitative sensory testing including temperature pain threshold, temperature pain tolerance, and thermal and mechanical temporal summation for patients with opioid use disorder on medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and compare these results to gestational age matched controlled pregnant patients not on MAT.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04888962
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04888962 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 13 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pittsburgh, which has 1,082 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Pregnancy Related appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which OUD is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04888962 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
