Filter by:The primary objective of this multimodal positron emission tomography (PET) study is to use PET brain imaging to measure both MOR (Mu-Opioid receptors) and KOR (kappa-opioid receptors) in participants with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and to quantify the relationships between MOR and KOR, separately and jointly, to key clinical outcomes (e.g., craving, mood, withdrawal, time to lapse) during a quit attempt.
Multi-site, double-blinded, prospective, randomized, sham-controlled study
This study will develop and pilot test a couples-based intervention to help adolescent girls and young women living with HIV (WLHIV (15-24 years) living in Uganda access HIV care and improve the outcomes of their HIV treatment by targeting male partner alcohol use to reduce IPV risk.
The study investigators are conducting the first open label pilot trial of MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) with a comorbid sample of military veterans with a comorbid diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This novel experimental treatment package consists of two once-monthly Experimental Sessions of therapy combined with a divided-dose of MDMA HCl, along with non-drug preparatory and integrative therapy. The Primary Outcome measure, the Timeline Follow-back (TLFB), will evaluate changes in alcohol use over time. Changes in PTSD symptoms will also be evaluated.
Substance Use Disorders continue to increase across the United States with significant adverse effects resulting in more than $700 billion annually (NIDA, 2017) with high co-occurring rates of IPV. The negative consequences are devastating to families and society. This team has developed a digital, interactive platform, RITch®CBT for the convenience of participants' within their own home & with out of session practice exercises. We propose to conduct a Phase I and II Study: UG3 (Phase I) and UH3 (Phase II) in collaboration with the FDA regarding ongoing feedback and regulatory processes. In Phase I, we propose a feasibility study, a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of RITch®CBT (n=20) among SUD-IPV diverse male clients entering addiction treatment comparing it to face to face 1:1 CBT (TAU, n=20). If efficacious, a Phase II (UH3, n=80) trial will be conducted to test the effectiveness of RITch®CBT among SUD-IPV compared to TAU (n=80) in reducing addiction and IPV.
In this study, the subconscious memory extinction therapy based on very brief exposure is used to intervene to reduce the alcohol craving of alcohol-dependent patients, prevent relapse, and observe the psychological craving, heart rate, skin conductance, and pupil diameter changes of the patients during the brief exposure extinction. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether subconscious extinction intervention would reduce psychological craving and alcohol relapse? 2. What is the mechanism of subconscious extinction intervention in alcohol dependence?
Alcohol consumption is one of the most important risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases in the population, and it is also the main cause of death from cancer, cardiovascular disease and lung disease, causing serious health, economic and social problems. The current alcohol-abstinence drugs have limited therapeutic effects and still present a high relapse rate. It is an urgent need to develop effective drugs for the treatment of alcohol addiction. The multimodal mechanism of action of ligustrazine in the central nervous system indicates that ligustrazine is expected to be developed as a potential therapeutic drug for alcohol addiction. Our study investigated the therapeutic effect of ligustrazine on subjects with alcohol addiction and the mechanism of multimodal brain imaging by administering ligustrazine, in order to develop new targeted drugs for alcohol treatment and provide more effective diagnosis and treatment methods for clinical treatment.
The objective of this study is to determine whether BHB levels in the brain will be positively associated with alcohol consumption, due to hypothesized enhancement of BHB transport into the brain.
Findings from this project will determine the relationship between two vulnerability factors for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in young adults: impulsivity and subjective response to alcohol. The results will identify badly needed, novel targets for prevention and treatment efforts to simultaneously reduce impulsivity and subjective responses in at-risk young adults.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a technology-substituted intervention (mhGAP-Remote) derived from the World Health Organization's (WHO) Mental Health Gap Action Programme-Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) is effective to reduce alcohol use among adults with and without HIV in Lesotho. Participants who receive the mhGAP-Remote intervention will complete one in-person intervention session pertaining to the mhGAP-IG module for alcohol use, followed by short message services (SMSs) related to the intervention material covered during the in person session. This will be compared to mhGAP-Standard, which involves 4 in-person sessions based on mhGAP-IG for alcohol use plus the option of 2 additional booster sessions. Participants in both treatment groups will complete assessments at baseline, 8-weeks follow-up, 20-weeks follow-up, and 32-weeks follow-up, consisting of self-reported questionnaires and laboratory tests.
