Filter by:This research is a 5-year observational, longitudinal registry study with no treatment or medication provided as part of participation. Individuals with current or lifetime stimulant use disorder, in addition to healthy control individuals, may be eligible to participate in this study. A variety of assessments and tasks including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Electroencephalography (EEG), blood draws, urine drug screens, and both self-report and clinician-rated assessments will be used to assess biomarkers in this population. This study has a visit schedule of four in-person visits and eight remote visits per year.
The goal of this clinical trial is to use a novel virtual reality intervention to test for efficacy in reducing stimulant use and increasing abstinence, with concomitant increases in future self-identification, future time perspective, and delay-of-reward, in early recovering stimulant use disorder (StUD) persons. The main question[s] this trial aims to answer are: - Will the Virtual Reality (VR) intervention decrease the number of stimulant use days? - Will the VR intervention produce longer abstinence periods during follow-up visits? - Will the VR intervention increase stimulant drug abstinence rates? - Will the VR intervention increase future self-identification? - Will the VR intervention increase self-reported future time perspective? - Will the VR intervention increase preference for delayed rewards in a laboratory delay discounting task on the study day? - Will the VR intervention produce gains in the behavioral effects of future self-identification, future time perspective, and delayed rewards at the 30-day and 6-month follow-ups? Researchers will compare the experimental and control groups to see if there are differences in the results for the questions outlined above.
The goal of this randomized control pilot study is to learn about a financial incentives intervention among individuals who use stimulants and take part in a community-based syringe exchange program. The main question it aims to answer is how financial incentives for not using stimulants will impact stimulant use. Participants in the experimental group will have the opportunity to earn financial incentives for providing a negative urine sample for stimulants using a point-of-care test, which indicates abstinence from stimulant use, along with health education on the health risks of stimulant use and substance injection. Researchers will compare the experimental group to the control group who will receive health education on the health risks of stimulants use and injection.
To study the effects of MDMA, compared to a prototypical stimulant, on social motivation, social ability, and neural indices of social function in healthy volunteers
This Phase II randomized controlled trial is testing the efficacy of a cell phone application called START for helping men who use stimulants like methamphetamine to get the most out of their HIV treatment.
The invetigators' objective is to implement Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and contingency management in patients affected by co-occurring opioid use disorder and stimulant use disorder. Participants will continue to receive standard of care for their opioid use disorder via MAT at our Outpatient Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) Clinic. Participants' stimulant use disorder will be targeted through contingency management, with twice weekly urine drug screens and monetary prizes in exchange for negative urine drug screens. Through regular clinic visits and the use of incentives, the investigators hope to increase treatment adherence and increase the number of negative urine drug screens in subjects struggling with co-morbid opioid use disorder and stimulant use disorder. The investigators will determine whether or not this treatment is effective in this population, versus conventional treatment (baseline therapy patients were getting through OBOT). The investigators' primary outcome measure will be stimulant abstinence duration during the twelve week study.
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.
This multi-site randomized controlled trial enrolling sexual minority men who use stimulants and are currently taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy of a PrEP Affect Regulation Treatment Innovation (PARTI) condition comprised of a 5-session positive affect intervention delivered during smartphone-based Contingency Management (CM) for directly observed PrEP doses (PARTI+CM) compared to an attention-control condition delivered during CM. The primary outcome is HIV acquisition risk measured using a combination of tenofovir-diphosphate levels in dried blood spots that are indicative of sub-optimal adherence to PrEP and recent condomless anal sex.
In this project, we will examine individual differences in the effects of a stimulant drug, methamphetamine (MA), on mesolimbic reward function using fMRI.
The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between bupropion, stimulant use and relapse, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and measures of mood, drug craving, and inhibitory control in individuals enrolled in inpatient treatment for stimulant-use disorder with and without ADHD. The experimenters hypothesize that Bupropion and Contrave (Bupropion/Naltrexone) will increase inhibitory control and decrease drug craving and depressive symptoms in recently abstinent stimulant users in inpatient treatment with effects greater than those seen in recently abstinent stimulant users completing inpatient treatment as usual. An additional hypothesis is that relapse rates after leaving inpatient treatment in the group receiving bupropion will be lower than those of the group completing inpatient treatment as usual. The study design consists of four assessments of drug craving, inhibitory control, impulsive choice, and mood (depression and anxiety). The timepoints for these assessments include: A. baseline after entering treatment B. 2 weeks after starting drug C. 8 weeks after starting drug, and D. 1 month after leaving treatment. Following eligibility screening, 60 stimulant users will be enrolled in one of 3 groups. Group 1 Bupropion Active Group: 20 subjects will receive bupropion for 8 weeks during inpatient treatment. Group 2 Contrave Active Group: 20 subjects will receive Contrave for 8 weeks during inpatient treatment. Group 3 Control Group: 20 subjects enrolled in inpatient treatment will complete treatment as usual as well as the four assessments (A-D) described above but will not receive drug (convenience control). Half of the subjects in each group will be diagnosed with ADHD and half will not, for a total of 10 subjects per group with ADHD.
