Old anxiety pill gets new test as opioid withdrawal aid

NCT ID NCT05511909

Summary

This study is testing if a medication called buspirone can help people with opioid addiction get through withdrawal more comfortably. One hundred adults will stay in a residential unit for 10-12 days to detox and will receive either buspirone, a different withdrawal medication (lofexidine), or a placebo. The main goal is to see if buspirone reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings better than the other options.
