MUIH named NIH HEAL Sub-grant Recipient
MUIH was recently named a sub-grant recipient for an NIH HEAL Initiative RM1 award in the Integrative Management of Chronic Pain and Opioid Use Disorder for Whole Recovery (IMPOWR) program. This award will create the IMPOWR Research Center at Montefiore/Einstein (“IMPOWR-ME”). IMPOWR-ME will be one of 4 sites in the IMPOWR national program (the others are at Yale, Pitt, and University of NM). The Center will create a research infrastructure to conduct effectiveness-implementation clinical trials to examine promising treatments for comorbid chronic pain care (PT and yoga) onsite to methadone treatment programs, adding acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and a smartphone app for patients in buprenorphine treatment, and testing an innovative approach to starting buprenorphine that could reduce barriers for inpatients with opioid use disorder and chronic pain. In addition, IMPOWR-ME will engage patients and other stakeholders and fund pilot projects led by early-stage investigators at the intersection of chronic pain and opioid use disorder.
MUIH will provide yoga subject matter expertise for the project, including developing the yoga program, training yoga interventionists, conducting site visits to assess protocol fidelity, and collaborating with the study team on dissemination efforts.
