NCT ID NCT05047627
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a smartphone app designed to reduce anxiety and depression in people already receiving medication for opioid use disorder. 63 adults were randomly assigned to use the app for four weeks or to continue their usual care. The goal was to see if the app was feasible and acceptable, and to get early data on whether it could improve mental health and reduce opioid cravings and use.

Active substance
Smartphone-based digital intervention (cognitive-behavioral therapy app)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a low-cost, scalable way to treat anxiety and depression in people receiving medication for opioid use disorder, potentially improving overall outcomes.
What could go wrong
This was a small, early feasibility study with only 63 participants and no control for the app's specific effects. The intervention was still being developed, so results may not be generalizable.
