Effects of Brief Training on Craving Regulation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators propose that brief training in regulation of craving may increase the efficacy of smoking cessation, but that training in cognitive vs. mindfulness-based strategies may operate via different psychological and neural mechanisms.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators propose to test the efficacy of such training by randomizing 126 cigarette smokers to the following conditions: 1) brief training in cognitive regulation of craving 2) mindfulness-based training, and 3) control or no training. Training will be delivered in 6x1 hour computerized sessions over four weeks. Control subjects simply fill out assessments during their visits. Participants who were randomized into the cognitive or mindfulness training complete Regulation of Craving (ROC) training sessions of approximately 60-90 minutes. If randomized into the cognitive regulation training, subjects will be trained to use a cognitive strategy that instructs them to think of all the negative outcomes associated with continued cigarette smoking. If randomized into the MBT-based regulation training, subjects will be trained to use a mindfulness strategy that instructs them to notice and accept their feelings of craving without judgment or intent to act upon them. After all training sessions are completed, there is a 4 week and 12 week follow-up. The investigators will evaluate the effects of training on craving and regulation of craving measured by self-report and functional magnetic resonance imaging during the Regulation of Craving(ROC) task administered pre- and post- treatment, as well as smoking. ;
