Filter by:The purpose of this study is determine whether the use of topiramate is effective in the treatment of alcohol dependence (i.e. decreases drinking) in patients with bipolar disorder.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mecamylamine (MEC, 10 mg/day) versus placebo in reducing depressive and alcohol symptoms in patients with depression and co-morbid alcohol dependence. The researchers hypothesize that MEC will significantly reduce depressive symptoms and decrease alcohol consumption compared to placebo in patients with depression and alcohol dependence who are on a stable dose of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two psychosocial treatments that differed in scope and intensity (Broad Spectrum Treatment and Motivational Enhancement Treatment) combined with 3 or 6 months of treatment with naltrexone on alcohol drinking behaviors in alcohol dependent patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether peer visits (known as "12th Step Calls") and professional counselors (using "Motivational Enhancement Therapy") are effective helping alcoholics link to substance abuse treatment programs after being in the hospital for detox.
This was a study of the effects of VIVITROL® on alcohol cue-induced craving and the associated brain activation patterns in alcohol-dependent adults who had recently completed alcohol detoxification and were seeking further treatment for their alcohol dependence. The study was powered to to detect whether VIVITROL attenuates or blocks the BOLD signal increases in response to alcohol-related cues. In the double-blind portion, subjects received a single administration of study drug (VIVITROL 380 mg or placebo). Subjects who completed the double-blind portion could opt to continue to the open-label portion and receive 2 additional months of treatment with VIVITROL 380 mg.
VIVITROL is indicated for the treatment of alcohol dependence in patients who are able to abstain from alcohol in an outpatient setting prior to initiation of treatment with VIVITROL. This Phase 3B trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VIVITROL versus placebo. Injections were administered to patients in whom abstinence was enforced by a period of inpatient hospitalization of 7 to 21 days.
To conduct a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled outpatient clinical trial of acamprosate in individuals with alcohol dependence and bipolar disorder who are also receiving mood stabilizing medication. The study will assess the safety and efficacy of acamprosate in alcohol-dependent bipolar patients as measured by its effects on alcohol use and mood symptoms relative to placebo. The primary hypothesis to be tested is whether individuals with comorbid bipolar disorder and alcohol dependence who receive acamprosate plus mood stabilizer will have greater improvement in alcohol-related outcomes than those who receive mood stabilizer alone. A secondary hypothesis that will be explored is that alcohol-dependent bipolar individuals treated with acamprosate will have greater mood stability as compared to those treated with mood stabilizers alone.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of acamprosate for patients with alcohol dependence and comorbid schizophrenia spectrum disorders. - 1: Relative to placebo, acamprosate will significantly increase cumulative days of abstinence in recently detoxified alcohol dependent schizophrenia patients measured by Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) method. - 2: Acamprosate will have no significant effect on the psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia patients with alcohol dependence as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).
The purpose of this study is to find out whether an investigational drug called quetiapine can treat bipolar disorder, improve mood and reduce alcohol use and craving.
The primary aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of long-acting injectable naltrexone administration in a clinical trial in patients with SMI who also have a diagnosis of alcohol dependence. Secondary aims include providing a preliminary assessment of the tolerability and safety of long-acting injectable naltrexone as compared with oral naltrexone in patients with SMI who also have a diagnosis of alcohol dependence. An additional aim is to provide a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of long-acting injectable naltrexone as compared with oral naltrexone in reducing alcohol use from baseline levels
