Filter by:Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and their relation to the development of an alcohol use disorder (AUD) will be measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
There is a pressing public health need to develop novel interventions that aim to reduce alcohol consumption and concurrent alcohol among hazardous drinkers with comorbid chronic pain. The proposed study will draw upon NIH treatment development guidelines (Stage 1) to translate and innovate past work to address a major public health priority. Specifically, we propose to develop (Phase IA) and pilot test (Phase IB) a brief, integrated, single-session, computer-based personalized feedback intervention (PFI) designed to 1) enhance knowledge regarding adverse pain-related anxiety-alcohol interrelations; and (2) increase motivation and intention to reduce hazardous drinking.
DCR-AUD will be evaluated for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in healthy volunteers.
Despite the system of care in place, patients suffering from an alcohol use disorder (AUD) continue to relapse after their detoxification. For about twenty years, neuromodulations and their mechanisms have been investigated in research in order to apply it as a therapeutic means, in particular direct current transcranial stimulation (tDCS). A previous study found a reduction of relapse rate thanks to the tDCS over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC; anode on the right and cathode on the left) combined with an ICT. This clinical trial of 5 sessions of tDCS alone on the DLPFC (20 minutes, anode on the right, cathode on the left). This study follows the same tDCS configuration as the previous one and takes place in the same multidisciplinary detoxification framework in order to see the relevance of using combined tDCS or only tDCS in clinical practice.
Prior to launching a randomized controlled trial, this pilot study will investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the administration of a diagnostic interview and collection of a biomarker test, as well as engagement and preliminary efficacy with W-SUDs and the education arm, among a sample of adults who screen positive for problematic substance use.
Even if hospital alcohol detoxifications are frequent in France, their caracteristicscharacteristics remain unknown. The investigators aim to describe the clinical and paraclinical caracteristicscharacteristics of their patients, their length and geographical repartition, etc… The investigators also aim to evaluate factors associated with longer stays or ulterior re-hospitalization for the same reason. Finally, The investigators aim to compare the stays by facility type.
Investigator seeks to determine wether integrating an addiction team into a liver transplantation unit improves the prognosis of patients with alcohol-related liver disease requiring liver transplantation. Our hypothesis is that patients managed by an addiction team before and after liver transplantation have less frequent alcohol relapses, thus decreasing the risk of cardiovascular complications, de novo cancer, recurrence of alcohol-related cirrhosis, and consequently increasing their overall survival.
A within-subjects crossover, randomised controlled trial conducted at a specialist NHS outpatient addictions clinics to determine if mental imagery (of future positive [recovery oriented] events) and a visuospatial task (playing Tetris) can help reduce cue-induced alcohol craving. Effects of both interventions will be compared.
Addiction is a public health issue that affects nearly 30% of French people according to INSEE. For several years now, the investigators have known that sport is a real help in the fight against addictions, with recent medical authorization to prescribe physical activities. A study from August 2016 claims that regular physical activity may offset the harmful effects of alcohol. (1) Based on the answers given by 36,370 Britons between 1994 and 2006, the researchers showed the existence of a link between the practice of 150 minutes of physical activity per week and the decrease in deaths linked to consumption. alcohol. These results, compared to 18 other studies (2), reveal the benefits of physical activity in the management of addictions. But what about current practice and addictions and sports practice in general ?
This study aims to validate W-SUDs as a digitally-delivered substance use disorder program through a fully-powered randomized control trial that will test the comparative efficacy of the mobile-app based substance use disorder program (W-SUDs) to reduce substance use relative to a psychoeducation control condition, which has no cognitive behavioral therapy and the content is not delivered through a conversational user interface.
