Filter by:ABSTRACT Aim: Our study aimed to determine the approaches of our physicians to the smoking habits of their patients other than those with pulmonary diseases. Method: Patients examined in different outpatient clinics of our hospital will be asked 7 questions about the doctor's approach to smoking habits. 1) Do you have information about smoking cessation clinic? 2) Has your doctor asked if you smoke? 3) Did he suggest you stop using it? 4) Did he inform you about the relationship between smoking and your disease? 5) Did he provide information about smoking cessation outpatient clinic services? 6) Have you ever thought about quitting smoking after your doctor's briefing? 7) Did you quit smoking after your doctor's briefing?
PRECESTO is a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial on 34 smokers who do not want to stop smoking and get high satisfaction from smoking. The primary objective is to assess efficacy of NFL-101 in reducing the positive reinforcing properties of cigarettes compared to placebo measured by the modified Cigarette Evaluation Questionnaire (mCEQ) "Smoking Satisfaction" (items 1, 2, and 12) subscale.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how limiting the nicotine content in regular cigarettes affects choices for regular cigarette and e-cigarette products. Eligible participants will be of legal age to purchase tobacco products and regularly use both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes.
Cigarette smoking is one of the foremost causes of preventable disease and premature death. In 2014, 68% of adult smokers wanted to quit smoking and in 2017, 55.1% of adult smokers had made a quit attempt. However, only a small percentage of adult smokers (7,4%) achieved to quit smoking. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a novel, powerful, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy. This study used Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS), a newer form of rTMS protocol that can be delivered in a shorter duration compared to the standard rTMS protocol, while delivering a comparable number of pulses. It is a tolerable, powerful, and useful tool in non-invasive brain stimulation therapies. This double-blind randomized control trial evaluated the efficacy of 4 iTBS sessions per day during 5 consecutive days over the left DLPFC in smoking cessation. Moreover, it investigated whether the exposure to smoking-related cues during the rTMS treatment, compared to neutral cues impact cigarette craving.
The primary aim of this project is to determine the threshold dose of nicotine, which the smokers will be able to differentiate from placebo (saline). Will use IV pulsed-nicotine infusion that closely matches nicotine delivery by inhaled tobacco use (i.e., tobacco cigarette or electronic cigarette), allowing precise and reproducible nicotine delivery. Four nicotine doses (0.1, 0.05, 0.025, and 0.0125 mg nicotine/pulse) which are within the range of nicotine doses that are delivered by cigarettes with very low to regular nicotine content. These doses will be delivered as a cluster of 4 pulsed-nicotine infusions of 2 sec duration with a 28 sec interval between each dose.
This study is designed to find out how smoking affects the way the brain responds to pleasure and how this impacts smokers' behavior. Participants will complete three sessions. The first session will be a screening and training visit to determine final eligibility. Eligible participants will work with a researcher to develop brief scripts about times when they smoke and do other activities. Next, participants will attend two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans - one after abstaining from smoking for 24 hours and the other after smoking as usual. After the second MRI, participants will answer questions on their phone every day for two weeks.
The purpose of this study are to obtain learnings regarding the Digital Therapeutic (DTx) experience of Clickotine, including acceptability and preference of the overall program and specific DTx components, as well as to obtain learnings related to adult participants' use of the DTx for smoking cessation.
The proposed study investigates the feasibility and efficacy of FITs in dual-smoker couples [DSCs]. The core design is a three-group mixed repeated measures design, in which participants are randomized into one of three conditions (control [CTL], dyadic target [DT] FIT or single target [ST] FIT) and tracked across 3 months. The FIT involves monetary incentives for online psychoeducation completion and smoking abstinence at follow-up.
The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, to patients, or to both in increasing Tobacco Use Treatment Service (TUTS) referral and engagement; and to explore clinician, patient, inner setting (e.g., clinic), and outer setting (e.g., payment structures) mechanisms related to TUTS referral and engagement. The investigators will employ rapid-cycle approaches to optimize the framing of nudges to clinicians and patients prior to initiating the trial and mixed methods to explore contextual factors and mechanisms. The investigators will conduct a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomize clinical trial to test the effectiveness of nudges to clinicians, nudges to patients, or nudges to both in increasing TUTS referral and engagement in cancer patients who smoke, vs. usual care (UC). The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase TUTS referral and engagement compared to UC and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with the overarching aim of testing the influence of reducing electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) use or nicotine on addiction and combustible cigarette (CC) smoking among dual users. Specifically, the investigators will conduct a 4-week pilot RCT in which dual users who are not motivated to quit either product in the near future are randomized to A) abruptly switch to low nicotine ENDS pods, B) abruptly reduce number of usual nicotine ENDS pods, or C) use ENDS as usual (control). The investigators adapted a protocol used in a prior study to assign participants to switch to ENDS pods with less nicotine or reduce number of ENDS pods in this trial. Specifically, the investigators will provide all participants with ENDS pods during the study period and instruct them to only use ENDS provided by the study. Participants in reduced nicotine condition will switch from usual nicotine (5% JUUL) to low nicotine ENDS (3% nicotine JUUL) pods. Participants in the reduced use condition will continue to use usual nicotine ENDS (5% nicotine JUUL) pods but reduce use to 60% of their baseline number of pods per week. Participants in the control condition will use usual nicotine ENDS (5% nicotine JUUL) pods as usual.
