Filter by:This study is a randomized, controlled clinical trial to examine the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids for treating veterans with PTSD and suicidal ideation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Community Reinforcement and Family Training for Early Psychosis (CRAFT-EP) for families experiencing early psychosis and substance use delivered exclusively or primarily via telehealth (video conferencing).
Tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC) is the psychoactive chemical in cannabis that makes people high. This study aims to dissect acute impairment of various forms of memory and learning by THC in cannabis compared to placebo. Impairment will be assessed via a short cognitive test battery and then subjects will complete four tasks in the fMRI scanner.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and impact of 28-days of monitored abstinence from cannabis use on symptoms of depression and anxiety, pain, sleep, cannabis use withdrawal, HIV viral load and biomarkers of systemic inflammation among PLWH and who use cannabis regularly (weekly or more often). This will be a single arm pilot feasibility trial involving a contingency management program to induce cannabis abstinence. Specifically, the contingency management program will provide motivational (monetary) incentives to participants who achieve biochemically verified cannabis abstinence. Over the 28-days of this pilot feasibility trial, participants will attend seven study visits. During these visits, participants will complete survey questionnaires to assess sociodemographic, psychosocial, and behavioral factors. In addition, participants will provide blood and urine specimens for testing and quantitation of HIV viral load, biomarkers of systemic inflammation and for the detection of cannabis and other drugs of abuse.
The acute effects of cannabis may differ between adolescents and adults. Furthermore, these effects may be tempered by the presence of cannabidiol. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover experiment investigates the acute effects of cannabis (with and without cannabidiol) on subjective effects, behavioural responses and neural functioning in 16-17 year-olds and 26-29 year-olds who regularly use cannabis (0.5-3 days per week).
Marijuana use has increased since its legalization in Canada and many believe that it may help patients that are experiencing chronic pain. The investigators want to assess if patients who have used marijuana chronically will need more medication to control their pain after they have undergone orthopedic trauma surgery (ex. Hip, femur, humerus fractures etc.). In this study, the investigators will identify chronic marijuana users (ie. those using for 3 months or more) who are undergoing orthopedic trauma surgery to assess how much pain medication they need post-operatively and compare this with non-users. The investigators will also evaluate their pain scores, pain medication use and other complications that they may have during or after their surgeries, including any nausea/vomiting, heart or breathing problems.
This study will examine how discounted vouchers for medical cannabis use affects opioid analgesic use in adults with chronic pain. Our study findings will have critically important implications to shape clinical care and medical cannabis policies.
The study will examine how medical cannabis use affects opioid analgesic use. This landmark study will be among the first to examine the effect of medical cannabis with different THC/CBD (Tetrahydrocannibinol/Cannabidiol) content on opioid use as well as adverse events.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an intervention that adapts Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) for families experiencing first episode psychosis and substance use delivered via telemedicine (video conferencing). The intervention aims to improve treatment engagement and reduce distress, and it will be delivered via telemedicine (CRAFT-FT). To assess feasibility of the intervention, family members will complete the sessions and provide feedback to refine the treatment manual. Data on client relatives with psychosis will be collected for preliminary assessment purposes. Client relatives will not complete the research study intervention.
This study will examine the effects of various strains of marijuana on simulated driving performance; the effects of alcohol administration will also be examined to further understand how marijuana-induced driving changes compare to the effects of alcohol. Secondary outcomes will include physiological effects, subjective- and observer-rated outcomes, and psychomotor performance under the various dose conditions.
