Filter by:The research proposed in this application will determine the initial efficacy, safety and tolerability of a novel drug combination, oxazepam (Serax®) and naltrexone (Revia®), as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine (Desoxyn®) dependence. A rigorous, inpatient human laboratory study will be conducted. The proposed study is innovative and important because it will provide the impetus for the conduct of double blind, placebo-controlled trials to further demonstrate the efficacy of combined oxazepam and naltrexone for managing methamphetamine dependence.
The purpose of this study is to develop the technology infrastructure for a mobile Web-based cognitive and neuropsychological assessment of substance abusers, and to perform a pilot trial using neurocognitive tasks designed to demonstrate that our system is statistically comparable to current clinical practice. The primary hypotheses are that results collected using a web-based data collection platform will be comparable (but not necessarily equivalent) to data collected under controlled laboratory conditions, that methamphetamine (MA) dependent participants will have worsened neurocognitive performance compared to healthy volunteers, and the platform will be acceptable to participants.
The objective of this study is to test the safety and potential efficacy of ibudilast to treat methamphetamine dependence. The study hypotheses are that ibudilast will reduce methamphetamine use and increase treatment retention more than placebo among patients seeking treatment for methamphetamine dependence. As HIV infection is a common complication of methamphetamine dependence, half of the participants will be HIV positive and the study will assess whether ibudilast also improves HIV related outcomes (e.g. medication adherence, CD4 count, risk behaviors).
Methamphetamine use disorders are an unrelenting public health concern. Intensive research efforts have yielded behavioral interventions that reduce methamphetamine use, however, these interventions are not universally effective and treatment effects diminish over time. Development of a pharmacotherapy that enhances the efficacy of these interventions is a priority for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This study proposes to determine the impact of buspirone maintenance on self-administration of methamphetamine. These preliminary data will be used to support further research developing buspirone as a pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine use disorders. The investigators hypothesize that buspirone will attenuate the reinforcing effects of methamphetamine.
Methamphetamine substance use is common worldwide. No approved pharmacologic treatments for methamphetamine dependence exist. paliperidone are Second generation antipsychotics，and have effects of blocking dopamine2(D2) and 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A(5-HT) receptors neurotransmitters.To determine whether mirtazapine would reduce methamphetamine use among methamphetamine addicts.
Methamphetamine-associated psychosis (MAP) has been considered a pharmacological or environmental pathogen model of schizophrenia (SCZ) due in part to similarities in clinical presentation (i.e. paranoia, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and negative symptoms), response to treatment (e.g.neuroleptics),and pathologic mechanisms (e.g. central dopaminergic neurotransmission) of both conditions. Both paliperidone and risperidone are second generation antipsychotics，but have same pharmacological effects of antipsychotic treatment and paliperidone may have more efficacy and safty.This study was designed to examine the acute efficacy, safety, and tolerability of paliperidone and risperidone for patients with MAP.
Methamphetamine substance use is common worldwide. No approved pharmacologic treatments for methamphetamine dependence exist. Aripiprazole are Second generation antipsychotics，but have different pharmacological effects of neurotransmitters.To determine whether mirtazapine would reduce methamphetamine use among mehtamphetamine addicts.

Specific Primary Aims include: Aim # 1. The investigators explore the feasibility of using the TMS to investigate the cortical excitability and to inhibit meth cue craving in meth dependent population. The investigators anticipate that meth elevates cortical excitability measured by motor threshold, causes changes of cortical silent period, and RC. The investigators also anticipate that paired pulse measures (short-interval intracortical inhibition, short-interval intracortical facilitation and long-interval intracortical inhibition) will be different from healthy control, which are more directly linked to glutamatergic cortical facilitation and GABAergic inhibition, respectively. Aim # 2. Given the change of the cortical excitability in meth users, the investigators will use inhibiting TMS (1 Hz) over medial prefrontal cortex to study whether TMS can be used to reduce cue craving. The investigators hypothesize that repetitive TMS reduce meth cue craving in meth dependent population compared with sham rTMS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RTI-336 as a treatment for methamphetamine (METH) dependence in non-treatment-seeking METH-dependent volunteers.
