Filter by:The efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) in treatment of methamphetamine use disorder
One hundred participants were recruited and randomized into a digital therapeutics (DTx) group (n=52) and a treatment as usual (TAU) group (n=48). The DTx group used a smartphone application to deliver cognitive behavioral therapy, approach bias modification, cognitive training, and contingency management for eight weeks. The TAU group received counseling from social workers and psychoterapists. Cue-induced craving, cognitive functions, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 were measured at baseline and post-intervention.
The OVERALL AIM is to assess whether app-based incentives are effective for older adults and to quantify the associations between age and both the efficacy and take-up of app-based incentives. This will allow us to determine if older adults with substance use disorders (SUDs) are willing to engage with app-based incentives and whether they perform similarly to their younger counterparts. Because the study will leverage data from an existing study on app-based incentives, a small add-on study is sufficient to address these three aims. This aim will be achieved while simultaneously gathering data that will shed light on the two aims of the first phase of the study: whether app-based incentives are effective overall, and how to optimize the size of incentives over time to maximize their effectiveness.
This study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of Acceptance Commitment Therapy, in conjunction with motivation enhancement, and the use of the ChillTime App, in reducing methamphetamine use in women with MUD with or without co-occurring psychiatric disorders. This intervention is designed to be delivered remotely (e.g., participants can complete the entire study from home), with the option for in person attendance if it is not feasible or safe for participants to attend from home.
The overall purpose of the observational, investigational pilot study is to assess the clinical utility of the Affect digital health platform (the Affect® "app") as part of the Affect program of treatment for methamphetamine-primary stimulant use disorder. The study also will identify elements of the Affect app that enhance engagement of participants in the study toward the goal of improving patient outcomes, including reduction/cessation of stimulant use.
This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project will examine the technical merit and real-world feasibility of the Affect smartphone application ("app") as the core component of the Affect digital care program for treatment of methamphetamine use disorder (MUD).
This Phase 2 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of monthly intravenous doses of IXT-m200 in treatment-seeking individuals with methamphetamine (METH) use disorder. The hypothesis are that following an initial relapse, IXT-m200 will reduce the occurrence of stimulant-positive saliva samples compared to placebo and improve the signs and symptoms of METH Use Disorder (MUD).
Combatting the rise of the opioid epidemic is a central challenge of U.S. health care policy. A promising approach for improving welfare and decreasing medical costs of people with substance abuse disorders is offering incentive payments for healthy behaviors. This approach, broadly known as "contingency management" in the medical literature, has repeatedly shown to be effective in treating substance abuse. However, the use of incentives by treatment facilities remains extremely low. Furthermore, it is not well understood how to design optimal incentives to treat opioid abuse. This project will conduct a randomized evaluation of two types of dynamically adjusting incentive schedules for people with opioid use disorders or cocaine use disorders: "escalating" schedules where incentive amounts increase with success to increase incentive power, and "de-escalating" schedules where incentive amounts decrease with success to improve incentive targeting. Both schemes are implemented with a novel "turnkey" mobile application, making them uniquely low-cost, low-hassle, and scalable. Effects will be measured on abstinence outcomes, including longest duration of abstinence and the percentage of negative drug tests. In combination with survey data, variation from the experiment will shed light on the barriers to abstinence more broadly and inform the understanding of optimal incentive design.
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.
We propose a single-arm clinical trial, with historical controls as a comparison group for select outcomes. Subjects with MAUD will receive 16 sessions of dual-target theta burst stimulation to the DLPFC and MPFC over 4 weeks. We will follow outcomes for 12 weeks. Outcomes include treatment retention, craving, self-reported MA or stimulant use, urine drug screen results, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, sleep quality, quality of life, response inhibition, and functional connectivity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure functional connectivity at baseline and four weeks.
