Clinical Trial Summary

The efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) in treatment of methamphetamine use disorder


Clinical Trial Description

Methamphetamine (MA) use is a serious public health concern in many countries and is second to cannabis as the most widely abused illicit drug in the world. Over the past few years; there is an alarming increase in crystal methamphetamine (Shabu) abuse in the Egyptian market and The Egyptian government is annoyed from this issue because youth within the age of productivity were targeted. Regular methamphetamine use can be associated with a range of psychiatric symptoms, particularly psychosis, anxiety, and depression. No FDA approved pharmacological treatments are available for Meth addiction up till now and despite great advances achieved in understanding the neurobiology of drug addiction, the therapeutic options are severely limited . Consequently, the only available treatment at present is psychosocial intervention. The effectiveness of CBT for other substance-use disorders (e.g. alcohol-, opioid- and cocaine-use disorders) has been well documented and as such this basic treatment approach has been applied to amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS)-use disorder . Currently, there is not enough evidence to establish the efficacy of CBT for amphetamine -type stimulant( ATS) -use disorders because of a paucity of high-quality research in this area. The present study will examine the efficacy of Cognitive behavioral therapy in reducing methamphetamine use in comparison to medical treatment usually taken in methamphetamine use disorder ;
