About this trial
This observational study aims to examine the relationship between opioid use and redox balance in adults. Redox balance reflects the level of oxidative stress in the body, which is known to play an important role in many biological processes and diseases.
Participants who use opioids will be included in the study. No experimental treatment or changes to current medical care will be provided as part of this study. Biological samples may be collected to assess redox-related biomarkers, and relevant clinical and demographic information will be recorded.
The results of this study are expected to improve understanding of how opioid exposure is associated with redox balance in adults. This information may help inform future research on the biological effects of opioids and potential strategies to reduce harm associated with long-term opioid use.
