Filter by:This 2-arm study will recruit participants with 1) alcohol use disorder and 2) cannabis use disorder for a 12-week cognitive behavioral therapy, following a thorough baseline assessments on executive function, incentive salience, and negative emotionality.
This study consists in the the design, implementation, and evaluation of the first web-based computer tailored intervention program aimed at the prevention of cannabis use in Spanish adolescents (ALERTA CANNABIS). A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial is conducted to test the effectiveness of ALERTA CANNABIS in students aged 14 to 18 years across 34 high schools from Andalusia (southern Spain), which are randomized either to the experimental or the control condition (EC and CC).
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the (cost-)effectiveness of contingency management (CM) compared with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of cannabis use disorder (CUD) in youth (16-22 years). The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the efficacy of 12 weeks outpatient CM versus CBT in youths with a CUD, in terms of cannabis abstinence during the intervention period? - What is the long-term efficacy of CM versus CBT at 6- and 12-months follow-up (FU)? - What is the cost-effectiveness of CM versus CBT at 12-months FU from a societal perspective? Study hypotheses are: 1. CM will result in more cannabis-abstinent days than CBT during the intervention; 2. CM is more effective and cost-effective than CBT at 12 months follow-up. Eligible patients (n=154) will be randomly assigned to either 12 weeks of outpatient CM or CBT. Assessments are conducted by trained research-assistants at baseline, after 6, 12, 26 and 52 weeks, and twice-weekly during treatment and consist of questionnaires, a computer task and collection of urine samples. Primary endpoint is the number of biochemically verified cannabis abstinent days in the 12-week treatment period. Key secondary endpoint: Treatment response: 50% or more reduction in cannabis use days in the past 4 weeks, compared with baseline. The primary outcome will be modelled in the intention-to-treat population in a (negative binomial) regression analysis with treatment group as independent variable and stratification variables as covariates. Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis (CEA; CUA) will be performed from a societal perspective. CEA: Treatment response is the central clinical endpoint for calculations of incremental costs per responder. CUA: Incremental costs per QALY (based on EuroQoL).
This research project proposes a novel approach to elucidate the biological adaptations associated with heavy cannabis use and to assess whether such adaptations are predictive of higher cannabis craving in response to both cannabis cues and stressors.
This study will compare the efficacy of telemedicine-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia tailored for people using cannabis for sleep (CBTi-CB-TM) to telemedicine-delivered sleep hygiene education (SHE-TM) on sleep, cannabis use, and daytime functioning. We will also evaluate the effects of CBTi-CB-TM on fundamental sleep regulatory system - homeostatic sleep drive - and its association with clinical outcomes.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate an Integrative Therapy for Adolescent Cannabis Use (TIMCA), integrating elements of Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT) and an Attachment-Based Intervention (ABI), (IBA),compared to Treatment As Usual (TAU) on cannabis use. The secondary objectives of the study are: To assess the effectiveness of the TIMCA, in comparison to the TAU, on: (1) Relationship quality with parents, (2) Relationship quality with closest friend, (3) Emotional regulation strategies, (4) Depressive symptomatology, (5) Anxiety symptomatology, (6) Adherence to therapy
This study tests of effect of brief education and support about tobacco, e-cigarette, and cannabis waste (TECW) on knowledge, beliefs, behavior, and TECW on two college campuses.
In this trial we will work with a group of participants who are having problems related to marijuana use (they have Cannabis Use Disorder) and who want to reduce the amount of marijuana they use or quit using marijuana completely. We are testing to see if a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help them achieve that goal when combined with a brief three-session counseling therapy. Participants will receive rTMS to one of two different parts of the brain (the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex--the DLPFC or the ventromedial prefrontal cortex--the vmPFC) to see if applying rTMS to one brain area is more helpful than the other brain area.
The goal of this clinical trial is to conduct a single-blind randomized controlled trial to verify whether the Avatar Intervention has greater efficacy over supportive intervention to reduce cannabis use in patients with psychotic disorders.
This study will be the first in vivo human multimodal neuroimaging study exploring the relationship between mGluR5 availability (PET), neural oscillations (EEG), and cognitive function in people with CUD. The goal is to test the overall hypothesis that mGluR5 availability is higher in people with CUD compared with HC. In Aim 1, the investigators will determine differences in mGluR5 availability between people with CUD and HC in the fronto-limbic brain circuit. Aim 2 examines the associations between mGluR5 availability, CUD severity, neural oscillations, and cognitive function in CUD subjects. Aim 3 will determine how prolonged abstinence from chronic cannabis use affects mGluR5 availability, neural oscillations, and cognitive function in CUD subjects.
