Filter by:The main objectives of this study were to test if 2 different doses of Cannabidiol (compared to placebo) alter 1) breath alcohol concentration, 2) craving and subjective responses to alcohol or 3) cognitive performance following a standard dose of alcohol.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of of repeat doses of DCR-AUD in adult healthy volunteers who are social drinkers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are repeat doses of DCR-AUD safe and well-tolerated in healthy adults who are social drinkers? - How does the drug behave inside the human body and how it is removed from the human body? - What are the symptoms the drug may cause with alcohol consumption? Participants will: - Receive multiple doses of DCR-AUD. - Have assessment visits through Week 24. - Participate in up to 10 Ethanol Interaction Assessments (EIAs) to see how the body is affected by DCR-AUD. Researchers will compare the groups of participates who receive study drug with the group of participants who receive placebo to see if the study drug is safe and tolerable and whether the study drug has any real effect.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of brain awareness intervention on metacognition, self-efficacy and treatment motivation in patients with alcohol and substance use disorders. It is an experimentally designed study with a randomized control group and repeated measurements (pre-test, mid-test, post-test).
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of multi-family group psychoeducation (MFGP) on the families of people living with a diagnosis of substance abuse disorder on patients and their families. It has been reported that families are affected by substance-related disorders. Families that are the target of psychoeducational practices for families are defined as follows: "Family" is a relative, biological family member, partner, close friend, or any other support person or a person who sees herself/himself as the patient's family. In most studies, it has been stated that including family members in the patient's treatment provides additional benefits to substance use services and makes long-term recovery more likely. Studies have found that MFGP is associated with fewer relapses and hospitalizations, improved family well-being, increased participation in vocational rehabilitation, higher employment rates, and reduced costs of care. Multifamily psychoeducation aims to increase the family's knowledge about substance use disorders and to include them in the recovery process. Study Design:The intervention involves 8-week MFGP for families. During the 8 sessions, it was planned to conduct face-to-face psychoeducational group work, with each session lasting 75 minutes on average. The MFGP to be covered during 8 sessions was created by evaluating MFGP modules from 3 different sources. Intervention protocols included these subjects: First session: Psychoeducation on Substance-Abuse Disorders Second session: Effects of Addiction on the Family Third session: illness management Fourth session: Supporting Recovery Fifth session: Improving Stress Coping Skills/Stress Management Sixth session: Developing Problem-Solving Skills Seventh session: Strengthening the Family Eighth session: Working with Stigma Study population: Families of people suffering from substance abuse disorders were studied. Expected outcomes: An increase in general and social functionality, a decrease in depression, anxiety, and self-stigma, an increase in quality of life, and treatment compliance are expected for patients. For families, it is expected that depression, anxiety, self-stigma, and caregiving burnout decrease, funcitonalty and quality of life increases and people gain skills to cope with stress.
Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) form a major public health issue in India. In a densely populated country with limited mental health resources, it is challenging to treat those with AUD appropriately. Detoxification is the first step in dealing with clinically significant AUD. Institution based detoxification is not universally available and home based detoxification is mired with poor outcomes with people resuming drinking behaviour. This trail therefore aimed to study the effect of a psychosocial intervention to improve the outcome of domiciliary alcohol detoxification. The intervention involved Brief Interventions for alcohol and daily telephone monitoring and psychosocial support of patients undergoing home detoxification.
Family-involved treatments for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) hold considerable promise to improve engagement and compliance with treatment and improve treatment outcomes. Currently, however, these treatments are time-intensive and difficult to learn and to integrate with on-going clinical treatment. Consistent with the general trend toward briefer treatments, we propose to develop a brief, 3-session, family-involved treatment that can be incorporated into a variety of other AUD treatment modalities. If successful, the treatment may increase the efficiency and effectiveness of AUD treatment.
The current study aims to assess the acceptability and feasibility of an adapted version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Treatment Seeking (CBT-TS) for use with signing Deaf adults. This is a Stage 1A intervention refinement study consisting of a single-arm open pilot trial. Thirty Deaf adults with clinically significant symptoms of alcohol use disorder (AUD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and/or insomnia, who are not currently engaged in treatment will be recruited from across the United States. All subjects will complete a baseline assessment of their behavioral health symptoms, perceptions towards treatment, and intent to seek treatment prior to engaging in the adapted CBT-TS intervention. The primary clinical outcome, assessed at one-month follow-up, will be whether subjects scheduled professional treatment. Secondary outcomes include changes in subjects' perceptions towards treatment, intentions to seek treatment, and symptom severity from baseline. During the one-month, follow-up assessment subjects will also complete a client satisfaction survey and open-ended questions to provide feedback about the CBT-TS intervention.
The high need population are patients who have three or more chronic diseases and have a functional limitation in their ability to take care for themselves. Investigators aim to understand the effects of a support group intervention, with the use of group medical visits and understand longitudinal effects in emotional wellbeing and loneliness.
The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects of naltrexone plus lemborexant augmentation compared to naltrexone plus placebo on cue-induced and non-cued alcohol cravings in people with alcohol use disorder and insomnia. Our secondary goals are to evaluate the effects of lemborexant plus naltrexone combination on sleep quality using self-report questionnaires and actigraph data, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
The aims of this proof-of-concept study are to determine the feasibility of 1) using a smartphone app ("Lifeguard") to facilitate engagement with a peer recovery coach, 2) monitoring post-detox using a modified Brief Addiction Monitor, and 3) assessing linkage to care post-detox.
