Evaluation of Physical Activity of Patients Admitted to Addiction Service
Addiction is a public health issue that affects nearly 30% of French people according to INSEE. For several years now, the investigators have known that sport is a real help in the fight against addictions, with recent medical authorization to prescribe physical activities. A study from August 2016 claims that regular physical activity may offset the harmful effects of alcohol. (1) Based on the answers given by 36,370 Britons between 1994 and 2006, the researchers showed the existence of a link between the practice of 150 minutes of physical activity per week and the decrease in deaths linked to consumption. alcohol. These results, compared to 18 other studies (2), reveal the benefits of physical activity in the management of addictions. But what about current practice and addictions and sports practice in general ?

Addictions Neuroclinical Assessment
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a major public health problem. In the U.S., 16 to 18 million adults have an AUD. Researchers want to test an assessment tool called the ANA. It uses self-report and behavioral measures to assess 3 neuroscience domains of addiction. They hope to better understand, manage, prevent, and treat AUD. Objective: To learn how people s brains function related to their drinking. Eligibility: People ages 18 years and older who have enrolled in NIAAA natural history study 14-AA-0181. Design: Participants will complete surveys and tasks on a computer. The surveys and tasks assess a range of aspects of thinking and making decisions. The surveys and tasks also assess behaviors and feelings about alcohol and other rewards, and negative emotions. Participants will spend 90 minutes on the computer. Then they will take a break. In total, they will spend 4 blocks of time on the computer. Each block will last 90 minutes. They will take a break in between each block of time. They can take more breaks if needed. Outpatient participants and healthy volunteers will complete this study in 1 visit. It will last about 6 hours. A second visit may be scheduled if needed. Outpatient participants will take a breath alcohol test. If their test is positive, their visit may be rescheduled or they may be withdrawn from the study. Inpatient participants will complete this study over several days. Data collected from participants in this study may be combined and analyzed with their data from NIAAA study 14-AA-0181 and/or NIAAA imaging study 14-AA-0080.

Integrating Addiction Treatment and HIV Services Into Primary Care Clinics in Ukraine
A randomized controlled trial to: 1. To compare both primary (composite quality health indicator (QHI) scores) and secondary (individual HIV/methadone maintenance treatment (MMT)/TB/primary care QHI scores, quality of life, and stigma) outcomes in an anticipated 1,350 people who inject drugs (PWID) receiving MMT from 13 regions (clusters) and 39 clinical settings using a stratified, phase-in, controlled design over 24 months. After stratifying PWIDs based on their current receipt of MMT, they will be randomized to receive MMT in specialty addiction clinics (N=450) or in an ECHO-IC/QI-enhanced primary care clinic with (N=450) or without (N=450) pay for performance (P4P) incentives. 2. Using a multi-level implementation science framework, to examine the contribution of client, clinician and organizational factors that contribute to the comprehensive composite (primary outcome) and individual (secondary) QHI scores.

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation in Sexual Addiction: an Innovative Treatment for a Better Understanding of the Physiopathology of Craving
In patients with addiction to a substance, an increase in activity in the prefrontal cortex induced by transcranial Direct Current Stimulation -tDCS (non-invasive technique, modulating cortical activity by applying low-intensity electrical currents between two electrodes),may help reduce craving in people addicted to alcohol and tobacco. By analogy with addictive behavior with a substance, the craving observed in certain behavioral addictions would involve the same neural circuits. The main hypothesis is to reduce the sexual craving associated with the viewing of erotic images during active brain stimulation compared to placebo stimulation. Functional MRI will allow to better understand the neural circuits involved in sexual addiction and in the expected inhibition of sexual arousal by tDCS in sexual addictions during visualization erotic images.

The Norwegian Addiction, Pain and Trauma Study
THIS STUDY DOES NOT OFFER ANY FORM OF TREATMENT FOR PTSD, PAIN OR SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE. In populations with substance use disorders (SUD), there is a high prevalence of chronic pain with various underlying causes. Chronic pain can complicate the treatment of SUD and lead to poorer treatment outcomes. There is a need for a better understanding of the connections and interactions between chronic pain and substance use and dependence. Further, there is a high prevalence of chronic pain among patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As there is an overlap between populations with SUD and PTSD, taking potentially traumatizing life-experiences and post-traumatic stress symptoms into account can provide a better understanding of chronic pain in populations with SUD. The Nor-APT study is a cross-sectional study, where the goal is to recruit 1 500 patients from outpatient and inpatient substance use treatment centres connected to Akershus University Hospital and Oslo University Hospital in Norway. Participants are invited to complete a questionnaire about substance/medication use, pain and how pain affect function, stressful life events and post-traumatic stress symptoms. The questionnaire has been developed in collaboration with clinicians at the various substance dependence treatment units and the Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies (NKVTS). The purpose of the Nor-APT study is to contribute to a better understanding and treatment of chronic pain among people with substance use disorders (SUD), and to contribute to the understanding of co-occurring substance use, chronic pain and post-traumatic stress symptoms. The four over-arching research aims are to: I. Describe the prevalence and characteristics of pain for people in need of treatment for substance/medication use/dependence. II. Describe how the pain affects physical and emotional functioning, and subjective quality of life. III. Explore any connections between substance/medication use and pain, both what came first and any ways substance/medication use and pain affect each other. IV. Explore the connection between chronic pain, potentially traumatizing life events and post-traumatic stress symptoms. In addition, the investigators will explore whether participants' experiences can be categorized into typical trajectories for how substance use, chronic pain and stressful life events occur and develop over the life span.

Prevalence of Internet Addiction Among Adolescent
Internet is now a tool available 24 hours a day, at a lower cost and accessible almost anywhere. Internet addiction could be defined as the inability to control one's Internet use and the continuation of this behavior despite the occurrence of negative consequences. Adolescence is a time of vulnerability to addiction, due to social and neurobiological factors.

Brain Exercise and Addiction Trial: Efficacy of a 12-week Aerobic Exercise Regime for Restoring 'Brain Health' in Cannabis Users
Heavy cannabis use is associated with substantive learning and memory impairments and elevated risk of psychopathology. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the hippocampus, centrally implicated in these processes, is particularly vulnerable to the deleterious effects of prolonged exposure to cannabis. This deterioration of hippocampal structure, function, and biochemistry can be reversed, but this requires two or more years of abstinence from cannabis. However, most heavy cannabis users find it extremely difficult to maintain abstinence over extended periods and current treatments for cannabis use disorders are inadequate. There is a pressing clinical need for an intervention that rapidly accelerates hippocampal recovery, ameliorates the associated cognitive impairments and mental health symptoms, and leads to improved treatment outcomes. One promising candidate is physical exercise. In addition to the well-known physical health benefits, regular exercise also has a potent positive effect on brain health. The current study will investitive the capacity of two different neuroscientifically-informed 12-week exercise programs can restore brain health for heavy long term cannabis users.

Presence of Psychopathy and Antisocial Personality Disorder as Well as Genetic Biomarkers and the Inhibition-prepulse Endophenotype in Elite Athletes
Sport is a privileged area to promote socialization and health values, such as companionship; a healthy lifestyle; cooperation to achieve common goals, and justice, rejecting unjustified advantages in competition. The concept of fair play is on which the development of those values pivots. From a holistic perspective, it is possible to define fair play, not only as a way to participate but also as a way of projecting people in life with values, assuming a set of behaviors that enhance a healthy and respectful sporting experience with opponents, the companions, the spectators, the referees and all the agents that take part in the sport practice.
