Filter by:ABSTRACT Aim: Our study aimed to determine the approaches of our physicians to the smoking habits of their patients other than those with pulmonary diseases. Method: Patients examined in different outpatient clinics of our hospital will be asked 7 questions about the doctor's approach to smoking habits. 1) Do you have information about smoking cessation clinic? 2) Has your doctor asked if you smoke? 3) Did he suggest you stop using it? 4) Did he inform you about the relationship between smoking and your disease? 5) Did he provide information about smoking cessation outpatient clinic services? 6) Have you ever thought about quitting smoking after your doctor's briefing? 7) Did you quit smoking after your doctor's briefing?
PRECESTO is a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial on 34 smokers who do not want to stop smoking and get high satisfaction from smoking. The primary objective is to assess efficacy of NFL-101 in reducing the positive reinforcing properties of cigarettes compared to placebo measured by the modified Cigarette Evaluation Questionnaire (mCEQ) "Smoking Satisfaction" (items 1, 2, and 12) subscale.
Almost one in ten young adults report current e-cigarette use, putting them at risk of developing nicotine addiction and long-term health effects of exposure to inhaled toxicants. Despite the need for effective treatments to help these young users quit, very few treatments targeting any type of tobacco use among young adults have been evaluated, particularly for young adults who vape and have unique treatment needs. To address these needs, this trial will evaluate a digital program for young adult e-cigarette users at all stages of readiness to quit called ACT on Vaping.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how limiting the nicotine content in regular cigarettes affects choices for regular cigarette and e-cigarette products. Eligible participants will be of legal age to purchase tobacco products and regularly use both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes.
Cigarette smoking is one of the foremost causes of preventable disease and premature death. In 2014, 68% of adult smokers wanted to quit smoking and in 2017, 55.1% of adult smokers had made a quit attempt. However, only a small percentage of adult smokers (7,4%) achieved to quit smoking. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a novel, powerful, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy. This study used Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS), a newer form of rTMS protocol that can be delivered in a shorter duration compared to the standard rTMS protocol, while delivering a comparable number of pulses. It is a tolerable, powerful, and useful tool in non-invasive brain stimulation therapies. This double-blind randomized control trial evaluated the efficacy of 4 iTBS sessions per day during 5 consecutive days over the left DLPFC in smoking cessation. Moreover, it investigated whether the exposure to smoking-related cues during the rTMS treatment, compared to neutral cues impact cigarette craving.
The primary aim of this project is to determine the threshold dose of nicotine, which the smokers will be able to differentiate from placebo (saline). Will use IV pulsed-nicotine infusion that closely matches nicotine delivery by inhaled tobacco use (i.e., tobacco cigarette or electronic cigarette), allowing precise and reproducible nicotine delivery. Four nicotine doses (0.1, 0.05, 0.025, and 0.0125 mg nicotine/pulse) which are within the range of nicotine doses that are delivered by cigarettes with very low to regular nicotine content. These doses will be delivered as a cluster of 4 pulsed-nicotine infusions of 2 sec duration with a 28 sec interval between each dose.
This study is designed to find out how smoking affects the way the brain responds to pleasure and how this impacts smokers' behavior. Participants will complete three sessions. The first session will be a screening and training visit to determine final eligibility. Eligible participants will work with a researcher to develop brief scripts about times when they smoke and do other activities. Next, participants will attend two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans - one after abstaining from smoking for 24 hours and the other after smoking as usual. After the second MRI, participants will answer questions on their phone every day for two weeks.
The purpose of this study are to obtain learnings regarding the Digital Therapeutic (DTx) experience of Clickotine, including acceptability and preference of the overall program and specific DTx components, as well as to obtain learnings related to adult participants' use of the DTx for smoking cessation.
The proposed study investigates the feasibility and efficacy of FITs in dual-smoker couples [DSCs]. The core design is a three-group mixed repeated measures design, in which participants are randomized into one of three conditions (control [CTL], dyadic target [DT] FIT or single target [ST] FIT) and tracked across 3 months. The FIT involves monetary incentives for online psychoeducation completion and smoking abstinence at follow-up.
The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of "nudges" to clinicians, to patients, or to both in increasing Tobacco Use Treatment Service (TUTS) referral and engagement; and to explore clinician, patient, inner setting (e.g., clinic), and outer setting (e.g., payment structures) mechanisms related to TUTS referral and engagement. The investigators will employ rapid-cycle approaches to optimize the framing of nudges to clinicians and patients prior to initiating the trial and mixed methods to explore contextual factors and mechanisms. The investigators will conduct a four-arm pragmatic cluster randomize clinical trial to test the effectiveness of nudges to clinicians, nudges to patients, or nudges to both in increasing TUTS referral and engagement in cancer patients who smoke, vs. usual care (UC). The investigators hypothesize that each of the implementation strategy arms will significantly increase TUTS referral and engagement compared to UC and that the combination of nudges to clinicians and to patients will be the most effective.
