Filter by:The purpose of this study is determine the safety, efficacy and tolerability of a novel drug APH-1501 as a pharmacotherapy for Opioid Dependence. The investigators will evaluate the safety of escalating doses APH-1501.
Long-term aim is the definition of a setup of mobile sensors and their integration in a mobile infrastructure that allows the prediction of stress related alcohol intake in an ambulatory setting. Here, we aim to identify stress- and alcohol cue-related physiological markers in a lab experiment to assess interactions between acute psychological vs. physical stress exposure and alcohol cue-exposure regarding their effects on measures relevant for the development and maintenance of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Further, we aim to identify neural correlates in brain circuits of motivational, cognitive, and affective processing. In addition to applying established stress-related markers, we will integrate innovative sensor-based measures.
Smartphones have become a part of everyday life, but with some problems. Researches have pointed out that smartphone addiction can cause both physical and mental problems.
This trial (Phase II) will assess the different methods of supporting families in finding mental health and/or addictions (MHA) services for youth. Youth with MHA issues and their families are particularly vulnerable in the MHA system, due to a lack of specialized support and complicated transitions between services. This study will assess the potential impact of Navigation on youth MHA symptom reduction or functional improvement, family functioning, satisfaction with MHA services, as well as the cost-benefit of Navigation. This project will seek to determine whether there is a difference for those youth with MHA issues and their families who receive Navigation over those who find and access MHA care on their own.
This study aims to examine the modification of the hypothesized imbalance between goal-directed and habitual behavior and its neural correlates in smokers. Two interventions will be used as add-on trainings to a smoking cessation program.
Background: People with addictions often find it hard to choose the long-term benefits of abstinence over the short-term effects of using drugs. Researchers think this is partly due to parts of the brain involved in certain types of learning and decision-making. Researchers want to test these basic functions using a simple task with pictures and odors. Objective: To see if performance in a learning task differs between people who have opioid-use disorder and people who don t. Eligibility: Adults 21-60 years old who are willing to fast for at least 6 hours and smell food odors. Those with an opioid-use disorder must either not use for at least 3 weeks or be in treatment. Design: Participants will have 1 visit that will take up to 5 hours. Before the visit, participants will be asked to not eat or drink anything except water for at least 6 hours. At the visit, participants will be checked for signs of intoxication. Participants will give urine and breath samples. Participants will have tests of learning and behavior. They will look at shapes on a computer screen. The shapes will be paired with different food odors. The odors will come from a sterile tube placed under the nose. Participants will have their breathing monitored with a belt around the upper abdomen. About 30 days and 60 days later, participants will be called and asked about their drug use over the past 30 days. ...
Nowadays, guidance is given on the implementation of innovative approaches to promote autonomy and user participation through strategies designed to strengthen the patient's empowerment. [SNS 2018-2022, Ministère des Solidarités et de la Santé] The 2014-2019 Cancer Plan calls for the systematic support of smokers during smoking cessation. This means that health workers need to be trained to help with smoking cessation, as well as the motivational attitude that reinforces the patient's smoker's self-esteem as well as his desire to off-load this addiction. [Perriot, Underner, Peiffer, Dautzenberg, 2018] It is recommended that these interventions be included from the beginning of the management, once the diagnosis of Cancer is made. It seems legitimate then to wonder about the place of choice the Motivational Interview (EM) could have in the course of cancer care, for the management of addictions during the treatment of cancer. We therefore wish to carry out descriptive qualitative research in the Lucien Neuwirth Oncology Institute in order to try to define the management of addictions in the oncology care course. Thus, an approach in terms of social representations among paramedical professional actors involved in the care of patients treated for cancer and with an unresolved addictive disorder sounds the best way for this research.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNODC] World Drug Report, the annual prevalence of drug use seemed to be stable for the past few years. However, new psychoactive substances (NPS) have increased drastically in both supply and demand.Many NPS were discovered at the same time as other drugs, and it was simply, for whatever reasons, these other drugs became popular. The majority of these substances are chemicals produced by tweaking or altering the molecular structure of previous well-known psychoactive agents such as cannabis, cocaine, methylenedioxymeth-amphetamine (or MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy), and lysergic acid diethylamide (or LSD), which are being sold as "legal highs," "research chemicals," "herbal highs," "party pills," or "plant food" in an attempt to stay ahead of the law prohibiting the sale and use of psychoactive drugs.Substance abuse rates in Egypt have hit 10%, or double the global average. Tramadol is the most abused substance, followed by cannabis and heroin.In the past two years, two new drugs - known as Strox and Voodoo - have hit the Egyptian market.Voodoo is a combination of an aromatic plant, like marjoram or incense, which is infused with a synthetic cannabinoid that is up to 100 times as powerful as natural marijuana. Shabu is another name for methamphetamine hydrochloride, also known as crystal meth. Meth is a highly addictive stimulant that causes its user irreversible harm, physically and mentally. Pregabalin is increasingly being reported as possessing a potential for misuse.
This study is comparing the efficacy of two smoking cessation apps.
Multicentre, prospective, observational, non-interventional, open- ended trial, collecting data from male and female patients aged ≥ 18 years, with a diagnosis of opioid addiction according to ICD-10 (F11.2), treated with therapeutic doses of levomethadone according to the routine medical practice.
