Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine feasibility of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for individuals with moderate to severe cocaine or methamphetamine use disorder (CUD/MUD). Potential participants will be age 18-65, and interested in cutting down or stopping use. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups; groups will receive rTMS or sham rTMS (placebo) over the course of an 8-week treatment period, and complete follow-up assessments at the end of treatment, 12, and 16 weeks post-randomization.
The purpose of this study is to see how well pioglitazone, when used with cognitive behavioral therapy, works at helping people who have recently stopped using cocaine to continue to not use cocaine.
This study is designed to explore the effects of acute pre-treatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol), as compared to placebo on the behavioral (e.g., attempts to self-administer and ultimate number of infusions/boluses of cocaine self-administered), neurocognitive (e.g., performance on computerized tests of reward related learning such as the probabilistic selection task or PST and probabilistic reward task or PRT), and subjective effects (e.g, computerized visual analog scale [VAS] ratings of euphoria/, craving, etc.) of cocaine in experienced, non-treatment seeking users of the drug.
This is a study to assess safety, tolerability and interactions of AFQ056 and cocaine in patients with cocaine use disorder.
The purpose of this research study is to measure synaptic density in the brain comparing individuals with cocaine use disorder to healthy controls.
EMB-001 is a combination of 2 drugs: the cortisol synthesis inhibitor, metyrapone (Metopirone®), and the benzodiazepine receptor agonist, oxazepam (original trade name Serax®; now marketed as oxazepam (generic) only). This is a Phase 2 study in approximately 80 adult subjects with moderate-to-severe Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD).
The objective of this protocol is to use a drug-vs-money choice task, reinforcement learning modeling and fMRI to determine the neurobehavioral and neurobiological decision-making "profile" associated with the decision to take cocaine and the reduced cocaine choice that occurs during behavioral and pharmacological interventions.
This study has an experimental design and will examine the difference in pre-test and post-test data on the Self-Forgiveness Dual Process Scale (SFDPS) (Griffin, Worthington, Davis, Hook, & Maguen, 2018) and the Substance Abuse Self-Stigma Scale (SASSS) (Luoma et al., 2013). Data will be collected from two groups of participants receiving counseling at the short-term rehabilitation facility located at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's (UPMC). Individuals who agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (EG) or the control group (CG). Data collected will include pre-test SFDPS and SASSS scores for the EG and the CG (collected within 24-hours of admission), and post-test SFDPS and SASSS scores for the EG and CG (collected after 14 days). ANCOVA will be used to analyze the pre-test and post-test data recorded from participants' scores.
The research proposed here will translate findings from preclinical research and provide the initial clinical evidence that orexin antagonism reduces motivation for cocaine, as well as other cocaine-associated maladaptive behaviors in active cocaine users. This study will also provide basic science information about the orexinergic mechanisms underlying the pharmacodynamic effects of cocaine in humans. As such the outcomes will contribute to our understanding of the clinical neurobiology of cocaine use disorder. Overall, the proposed work seeks to expand the scope of current clinical neuroscience research on cocaine addiction by focusing on orexin, which has strong preclinical evidence supporting its critical role in addiction but remains unstudied in humans.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation in which low level electrical currents are applied to the scalp in order to alter brain function. In the present study, tDCS will be administered with the goal of assessing the tolerability and feasibility of this approach to 1) reduce an individual's level of drug craving and 2) provide evidence to support the use of this device by the patient for future unsupervised stimulation in a non-clinical setting. Research Questions: - Can tDCS be used successfully to train cocaine addicted individuals for self-administration purposes? - Can active tDCS be used to decrease drug craving in individuals with cocaine use disorders? - Does active tDCS outperform sham tDCS in reducing drug craving?
