First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 36 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special therapy program with a mobile app helps pregnant people stay on their buprenorphine medication for opioid use disorder, compared to just logging their doses. About 37 pregnant women will be randomly assigned to either the app-based therapy or daily medication tracking. The goal is to see if the extra support improves treatment retention and engagement.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention (EMPWR) with mobile app
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a therapy app plus counseling helps pregnant people stick with their opioid treatment, improving health for mother and baby.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early feasibility study (37 people), so results may not apply widely. The therapy is extra work and may not improve retention over simple monitoring.
