Filter by:The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of a multicomponent smoking cessation intervention for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) smokers, including a training protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM called "DiMe-SALUD2" project. Overall, 90 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following conditions: (1) Control Group (waiting list, n = 30), which will only receive brief psychoeducation advice about smoking cessation; (2) Experimental Group 1 - Cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for smoking cessation (n = 30), where a multicomponent cognitive-behavioral program for quitting will be applied; (3) Experimental Group 2 - CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol (n = 30), where the CBT intervention will be applied plus a training protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM. The specific goals of this project are: 1. To evaluate the added efficacy of the psychoeducation protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM plus the multicomponent cognitive-behavioral program to quit smoking (CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol), compared to the standard application of this multicomponent program and to the control group. 2. To describe the impact of the CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol on different key variables (explained below). 3. To analyze the efficiency or cost-effectiveness of the CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 program, and the feasibility of implementing this program in the public health system of Andalusia (Spain). 4. To transfer the knowledge generated to the main health professionals involved in the treatment of smokers with T2DM, through specialized training and the dissemination of a clinical manual created for this purpose.
Substance use disorders (SUD) are characterized by increased automatized responses to drug-related cues (cue-reactivity) and deficient cognitive control. Cue-reactivity (CR) can be elicited by internal (e.g. mood) or external (e.g. situations) cues closely related to consumption. Therefore, one aim for relapse prevention is to control CR by the enhancement of cognitive control, e.g., via noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) of cortical areas involved in inhibitory control. However, thus far, treatment effects of NIBS for relapse prevention in SUD are only moderate, despite clear neurophysiological targets. Critically, NIBS is commonly applied in highly standardized laboratory situation, not related to CR, neglecting the current individual (brain-) state. In the current study, relapse-relevant (brain-) states will be evoked in individual, naturalistic settings outside the laboratory and monitored by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS; assessing cortical activation patterns) and heartrate variability (HRV; as a periphery physiological measure) to capture the optimal (cortical) state for subsequent NIBS by means of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The aim of this highly innovative approach is increasing the efficiency of relapse prevention in SUD. At its heart, multimodal measurements during real-world (substance-related) choices with high ecological validity will be used to identify markers for individual optimal target states for tDCS. In contrast to current approaches, the target brain state of the individual adaptively controls the tDCS to maximize therapeutic outcome. One obstacle is to clear the data from artefacts to interpret data at a single-trial level, which requires this proof-of-concept study. This data is prerequisite for further clinical randomized-controlled studies in patients with SUD.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, patients, or both in increasing referral to, and engagement with, tobacco use treatment services (TUTS) for HIV patients versus usual care. This will be a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase TUTS referral and engagement compared to usual care and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.
The overarching goal of this translational proposal is to determine if neuroactive flavor chemicals can enhance the addiction potential of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) by altering brain function and behavior.
This is a multi-arm, randomized controlled, pilot study which will recruit cancer patients who have been seen by a UCSF Cancer Center-affiliated clinical department to evaluate the efficacy of "CareConnect". This is the first study to assess the efficacy CareConnect, a combination of the Ask-Advise-Connect (AAC) with an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) delivering cancer-targeted educational messages to support referral to smoking cessation resources for patients with cancer.
The purpose of the study is to examine whether an investigational medication called ketamine is able to improve treatment outcomes for tobacco use disorder when delivered in conjunction with brief motivational enhancement therapy. Participants will receive ketamine assisted motivational enhancement therapy weekly for three weeks and there will be 2 follow up visits. All visits will also consist of questionnaires and saliva samples will be taken. The overall participation will last approximately 8 weeks.
Investigators seek to propose a non-drug therapeutic alternative, namely a mindfulness meditation protocol based on virtual reality training in order to induce progressive modifications of various indicators of craving. The study hypothesis is that the practice of mindfulness meditation in a virtual reality environment reduces the craving induced by cues and stress and therefore ultimately smoking relapse. The main objective of the protocol will be to demonstrate that mindfulness meditation can reduce long-term relapse (continuous cessation (> 30 days) of smoking cessation). The participants will be randomized into two groups: the experimental group will perform six virtual reality sessions in a multisensory cabin at the rate of one session per week; the control group will be prescribed the gold standard treatment (nicotine patches and chewing gum). Participants will be seen again at three and six months to assess whether or not there has been a smoking relapse.
Our primary goal will be to identify the optimal prefrontal-cingulate target by systematically measuring the efficacy of various image-based targeting techniques to increase the reward positivity using the 10-Hz TMS protocol in dependent smokers. Our secondary objective will be to measure the targets' effectiveness to increase decision-making capacity using the probabilistic selection task (PST). Our third objective will be to specifically assess whether the TMS targets has a differential impact on state levels of craving relative to baseline (Tobacco Craving Questionnaire [TCQ]. We plan to accomplish these three objectives using a randomized, controlled experiment involving 3 sessions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cytisine as a smoking cessation treatment in individuals with concurrent alcohol use disorder.
The goal of this subproject is to examine the hypothesized improvement of treatment with chess-based training and sleep enhancement, both together and on their own, in smokers. Participants will undergo fMRI measurements, sleep monitoring. They will then be assigned to one of the four experimental groups, including high-intensity interval training with or without chess-based training.
