【drug-news】美国开始处方药物滥用研究
U.S. Opens Study of Prescription Drug Abuse Treatments

SUNDAY, March 18 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers at the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse are launching the first large-scale national study to evaluate treatment of addiction to prescription pain medications such as OxyContin and Vicodin.
The 11-site Prescription Opiate Addiction Treatment Study will examine the effectiveness of buprenorphine/naloxone tablets (Suboxone), along with different kinds of drug counseling, in patients addicted to prescription opioids.
The study is a response to the growing problem of prescription drugs abuse in the United States. In 2005, more than six million Americans reported nonmedical use of prescription drugs within the previous month, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. That's more than the number of people who used cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, and inhalants combined.
Researchers plan to enroll 648 people, including those who were prescribed pain drugs for chronic pain and became addicted to them and people who abuse painkillers to get high.
"This study is important, because most of the research to date has been done on treatment for those addicted to heroin, not prescription pain medications," lead investigator Dr. Roger Weiss, clinical director of the McLean Hospital Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Center in Belmont, Mass., said in a prepared statement.
"It also isn't clear whether people who started taking these medication for legitimate reasons will respond to the same treatment in the same way as those who use pain medications solely on an illicit basis," Weiss said.

SUNDAY, March 18 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers at the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse are launching the first large-scale national study to evaluate treatment of addiction to prescription pain medications such as OxyContin and Vicodin.
星期天，3－18（每日健康新闻）――美国国家药物滥用研究所的研究者们正在启动一项有史以来最大的国立研究用于评估对止痛处方药物如奥施康定和Vicodin（对乙酰氨基酚和二氢可待因酮间羟氨混合制剂）成瘾的治疗。
The 11-site Prescription Opiate Addiction Treatment Study will examine the effectiveness of buprenorphine/naloxone tablets (Suboxone), along with different kinds of drug counseling, in patients addicted to prescription opioids.
这项涵盖了11个地方的阿片类处方药成瘾治疗研究将会检验丁丙诺啡/纳洛酮舌下含片(Suboxone)和各种形式的药物咨询在阿片类处方药成瘾病人中的有效性。
The study is a response to the growing problem of prescription drugs abuse in the United States. In 2005, more than six million Americans reported nonmedical use of prescription drugs within the previous month, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. That's more than the number of people who used cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, and inhalants combined.
这项研究是对美国逐渐增加的处方药物滥用问题的回应。在2005年，每个月都有超过六百万美国人被报导非医学治疗性的使用处方药物，这是根据《全美药物使用与健康调查》所得出的结果。这个数量比那些使用可卡因，海洛因，迷幻剂和吸入剂的人加起来还要多。
Researchers plan to enroll 648 people, including those who were prescribed pain drugs for chronic pain and became addicted to them and people who abuse painkillers to get high.
研究者计划将648个人纳入研究，包括那些因为慢性疼痛而被开了止痛性处方药，但是却渐渐上瘾的人，还有一些滥用止痛药以获取高潮的人。
"This study is important, because most of the research to date has been done on treatment for those addicted to heroin, not prescription pain medications," lead investigator Dr. Roger Weiss, clinical director of the McLean Hospital Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Center in Belmont, Mass., said in a prepared statement.
“这项研究非常重要，因为迄今为止大多数研究都是针对海洛因成瘾的治疗，却没有止痛处方药物的研究，”马萨诸塞州Belmont的McLean医院酒精和药物滥用治疗中心的临床主管，这项研究的首席研究员Roger Weiss博士在一份准备好的声明中说到。
