Effectiveness of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) in Motivational Enhancement Therapy for Nicotine Addiction

Nicotine Dependence Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effectiveness of N-Acetylcysteine in Motivational Enhancement Therapy for Nicotine Addiction: Study on the Dopaminergic Pathways, Changes in Functional Connectivity of fMRI Bold, and Changes in Smoking Abstinence

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of the combination of n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy on laboratory improvement in the form of changes in blood nicotine, radiological changes in the form of nerve connectivity on post-therapy frontostriatal fMRI examination and clinical changes in the form of abstinence, withdrawal symptoms and cravings in adult smoker.

Clinical Trial Description

The main question it aims to answer are: Obtain the effectiveness of combination of n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy compared to a combination of motivational enhancement therapy and placebo on nicotine withdrawal symptom scores on nicotine addiction. Obtaining the effectiveness of the combination of n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy compared to the combination of motivational enhancement therapy and placebo on craving symptom scores on nicotine addiction. Obtain the effectiveness of giving a combination of n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy compared to a combination of motivational enhancement therapy and placebo in the incidence of abstinence in nicotine addiction. Obtain the effectiveness of combination n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy compared to a combination of motivational enhancement therapy and placebo on blood nicotine levels in nicotine addiction. Obtain the effectiveness of combination n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy compared to a combination of motivational enhancement therapy and placebo on n-acetylaspartate levels in the brain in nicotine addiction. Obtain the effectiveness of combination n-acetylcysteine and motivational enhancement therapy compared to a combination of motivational enhancement therapy and placebo on glutamate levels in the brain on nicotine addiction. Obtain an overview of nerve connectivity in nicotine addiction patient through post-therapy frontostriatal fMRI examination. Evaluate the side effects and severe side effects of NAC administration on nicotine addiction. Participants will: Get blood testing for nicotine in 1st, 6th and 12th weeks Fill the QSU-Brief, MTWS questionnaire every 2 weeks for 12 weeks Get motivational enhancement therapy every 2 weeks for 12 weeks Get fMRI in the 12th week Consume 3600 mg n-acetylcysteine for 12 consecutive weeks (for treatment group) and placebo (for control group) Researchers will compare the laboratory, clinical and radiology improvement in both groups ;
