Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Thanusha Puvananayagam"
- Recent research by Thanusha Puvananayagam focuses on the intersection of mental health and substance use disorders, particularly through a study evaluating the efficacy of telehealth Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) as an intervention for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) and pain, comparing it to traditional methadone treatment.
- The study published in JAMA Psychiatry reveals that existing methadone treatments inadequately address underlying issues of emotional dysregulation and pain which may drive opioid misuse, highlighting the need for integrated approaches in treatment protocols.
- Additionally, Puvananayagam's earlier work investigates the determinants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) utilizing data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, illustrating a connection between lifestyle factors, obesity, and IGF-1 levels, with implications for understanding obesity-related health issues.
