Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Hatha Yoga can improve the chances of a successful smoking quit attempt.
The purpose of this study is to test different ways to help cancer patients maintain their smoking abstinence. Participants may receive educational materials as part of the study.
Research Aims The aims of this research study are: 1. To determine which of the following three smoking cessation medications is most effective in achieving cessation: - Nicotine Patch - Nicotine Patch + gum or inhaler - Varenicline (Champix; 2. To investigate how often participants experience neuropsychiatric symptoms over the course of their cessation attempt and to assess whether: - They occur more often when taking one medication versus another - They occur more often in those with or without psychiatric illnesses. Hypotheses to be Tested The hypotheses to be tested include the following: 1. The CO-confirmed continuous abstinence rate from 5 weeks to 52 weeks following a target quit date will be significantly higher in smokers receiving long-term transdermal NRT in combination with other NRT products or those receiving varenicline compared to those receiving transdermal NRT alone. 2. Some participants will experience neuropsychiatric symptoms during their cessation attempt, and those in the varenicline group will experience a greater incidence of neuropsychiatric symptoms than those in the groups receiving transdermal NRT alone or in combination with other NRT products. Patients with psychiatric illnesses will report higher levels of withdrawal symptoms than those without psychiatric illnesses.
The primary aim of this research study is to determine whether titrated, patient-directed transdermal patch NRT, based on smoking history and symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, improves long-term rates of smoking cessation in patients motivated to quit smoking when compared to patients using the standard transdermal NRT patch protocol. The following hypothesis will be tested: CO-validated continuous abstinence rate at 52 weeks post target quit date will be higher for the titrated, self-directed NRT group compared to the standard NRT treatment group.
The purpose of this study is to show that a patient-centered survey asking about smoking habits, with the option for nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) will increase the prescription rates among health care providers (HCP). The investigators also believe that this intervention can also lead to increased referrals to smoking cessation clinics and ultimately increase rates of smoking cessation.
This proposal outlines the design of a cluster randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of a new approach to integrating smoking cessation services into routine interactions with patients in the primary care setting using an adaptation of the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC). The OMSC aims to systematically identify the smoking status of all patients, provide brief cessation advice, and offer evidence-based cessation support to those interested in embarking on a quit attempt. This study will provide important new evidence to assist with the development of a more comprehensive cessation system in the province of Ontario and across Canada.
To investigate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation intervention of two sessions (120 min at a time) in a group setting on the basis of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and important elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). According to national and international guidelines patients are advised to quit and pharmacologically supported with one of the established first line smoking cessation treatments.
The goal of this study is to test an intervention that teaches clinicians to integrate the use of 'teachable moments' with the key skills of motivational interviewing tailored to address smoking and weight management in the primary care outpatient visit setting.
Non-treatment extension to study A3051123, aimed at collecting data on cardiovascular safety for all participants in the A3051123 trial for an additional 28 weeks, allowing for a total of 52 weeks of cardiovascular safety data collection.
Smoking is widely accepted to cause an increase in an individual's likelihood of developing cancer and heart disease. The effects of tobacco smoke are not limited to smokers. Secondhand smoke inhaled by a non-smoker has also been associated with the development of several illnesses. This study focuses on learning how to make your home smoke-free.
