Filter by:The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of rimonabant 20 mg OD fixed dose plus nicotine patch 21 mg OD with the combination rimonabant 20 mg OD fixed dose plus placebo patch on abstinence from smoking in cigarette smokers motivated to quit. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the clinical and biological safety of rimonabant associated with nicotine replacement therapy during a 9-week treatment period and to evaluate the effect of the combination on weight and craving.
The objective of this pilot research is to investigate the effects of two behavioral smoking cessation programs on aspects of cue-induced cigarette craving, and to further investigate the neural bases of such effects.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of both high and low intensity, disease management programs for smoking. The hypotheses are to compare abstinence from cigarettes, the number of quit attempts, and smokers motivation at 24 months between participants receiving high and low intensity disease management and those receiving usual care.
This study will determine the effectiveness of tropisetron plus risperidone in improving cognitive symptoms in Chinese people with schizophrenia.
Surinabant is a new, potent and selective antagonist for the cannabinoid CB1 receptor, which might be clinically useful in the treatment of dependence to nicotine. The primary study objective is the assessment of efficacy of 3 doses of surinabant on abstinence from smoking in cigarette smokers. The main secondary objectives are the effect of surinabant on body weight and its clinical and biological safety.
Cigarette smoking is the most common risk factor for lung cancer, and it increases the risk of developing other cancers, chronic lung disease, and heart disease. A smoking cessation program that incorporates physical activity may be beneficial in improving long-term smoking cessation rates. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based physical activity program, in combination with nicotine replacement therapy and a behavioral smoking cessation program, at improving cessation rates among sedentary smokers.
Treatment studies have demonstrated that current smoking cessation techniques are less effective for women. The purpose of this study is to determine the role that gender plays in the effectiveness of nicotine replacement therapy. In addition, the purpose of this study is to determine whether men and women differ in their response to smoking-related stimuli (e.g., taste or smell of a lit cigarette). Conclusions drawn from this study may help to improve cessation interventions for all smokers, particularly women.
The primary study objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of dianicline as an aid to smoking cessation in cigarette smokers. The main secondary objectives are to assess the: craving for cigarettes, nicotine withdrawal symptoms, and safety of dianicline.
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a smoking cessation intervention for persons who are specifically sensitive to anxiety and anxiety-related bodily sensations.
The Pennsylvania Adolescent Smoking Study (PASStudy) will evaluate the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing (MI) compared to Structured Brief Advice (SBA) to reduce cigarette smoking among adolescents who smoke. MI is a brief 5 session client-centered psychotherapeutic style intended to increase "the probability that a person will enter into, continue and adhere to a specific change strategy." This will be compared with SBA, which implements Best Practice Guidelines (i.e., 5 A's and 5 R's) and assists participants in accessing the best available resources for smoking cessation.
