Evaluation of the Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Nicotine-Dependent Tobacco Users
In summary, there are currently many therapeutic tools for achieving some degree of control or even cessation of tobacco addictive use. No single therapy seems to have proven itself sufficiently effective to be the preferred treatment axis in the management of this addiction. We can also point out that so far the main treatments aimed at reducing or controlling the craving phenomenon are of a pharmacological nature, thus exposing the participants to the side effects inherent to this type of treatment. In this perspective, the establishment of non invasive brain stimulation (TdCS), acting in a targeted manner on craving and whose effects would be mild and transient, appears quite justified, especially in addition to psychotherapy. In the context of the management of addictive pathologies, the choice of smoking dependence seems relevant to us insofar as this addiction represents a major public health problem.

Implementation and Effectiveness of Multidiscipline-Integrated Addiction Treatment Model
Management of substance use disorders in clinical settings is challenging. Approaches with integrated bio-psycho-social interventions, along with the engagement of families and self-help groups are strongly recommended. The Matrix intensive outpatient program has been developed in UCLA to help the psychostimulant misusers in the Southern California in 1980's. With integration of the existing evidence of addiction researches and empirically supported cognitive-behavior treatment techniques, the Matrix model developed manuals to address knowledge and skills needed for drug users in their early recovery and relapse prevention. The treatment was delivered in a 16-week intensive structured group sessions. There was also a 12-week educational sessions for the in-treatment individuals and their families. A substantial body of evidence has demonstrated the successful experience of the Matrix treatment model in management a broad spectrum of addictive disorders in many countries. The objectives of the pilot project are to set up a multi-center collaborative clinical network with implementation of an integrated addiction treatment program modified from the UCLA Matrix model. Via the establishment of standardized subject recruitment criteria, treatment and outcome assessment procedures, the study aims to assess the adherence of participating clinical organizations to the study protocol, the acceptance of participating MA misusers for the integrated treatment program as well as the outcomes and their determinants for the treatment models.

Repetitive dTMS Intervention for Methamphetamine Addiction
A growing body of evidence suggests a wide range of brain areas including medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and other subcortical regions, such as anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are critical for regulating cognitive control over decisions and involving in drug related cue processing. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reduces craving for meth dependences. Specifically, the H7 coil induces a magnetic field can target mPFC and ACC. In this study, the investigators investigated whether repeated dTMS intervention of medial prefrontal and cingulate cortices in methamphetamine addiction could reduce the subjective craving and improve the cognitive abilities.

Addiction Treatment Outcome Monitoring Study
This research evaluates a tool designed for measurement-based care in addiction treatment. Patients in addiction treatment will be invited to complete weekly measures indicating treatment progress and goals. For half the patients, their addiction treatment clinician will be able to view their weekly progress and goals via a secure dashboard. The research will test the feasibility and acceptability of the measurement-based care tool and will evaluate its impact on within-session discussion topics and clinical outcome measures.

Ontological Addiction Scale: Study Protocol for Scale Validation
Background: Bypassing a reductionist view of existing diagnostic categories, ontological addiction theory (OAT) is a new psychological model of human functioning and mental illness. Ontological addiction is a maladaptive condition that stems from an erroneous belief in an inherently existing Self or "I", which is deemed to be the root of all suffering. Five experts from four different countries have created the Ontological Addiction Scale (OAS) to measure the condition and its impact on people's lives. The purpose of this study is to test this scale, evaluating levels of ontological addiction in individuals suffering from emotional or mood disorder, and assess its psychometric properties. Methods: This trial will be conducted in compliance with the COSMIN Guidelines. The investigators will collect data from 400 individuals, aged 18 to 70, suffering from emotional or mood disorder, referred to the Therapeutic Center for Mood and Emotional Disorders for an 8-week-mindfulness-based-intervention. Patients will complete the OAS at three time points: one month before the beginning of the therapy, within one week prior to the beginning of therapy, and one year after the end of the therapy. This scale will be completed in conjunction with other practice assessments relating to the psychotherapeutic program. The psychometric properties of the OAS will be assessed. Discussion: The Investigators aim to validate a scale assessing a psychological dimension as the root of all mental disorders. The present study may contribute to overcoming limitations of categorical understanding of mental disorders, thus moving toward a more encompassing dimensional comprehension. The scale is responsive to current thinking in modern psychiatry, and it is envisaged that its validation will deeply impact research and care perspectives

A Mobile App for the Self Quantification of Sleep and Behaviors : a Pilot Study With Teenagers and Young Adults
The sleep and behavior agendas are today very largely underused while they can be of a considerable contribution in the follow-up of the patients and the reinforcement of the therapeutic alliance. In the management of addictions, sleep disorders are a major comorbidity, these two components maintain indeed complex links: it was highlighted a bidirectional relationship between the effect of the consumption of addictive substances on sleep and conversely, the effect of sleep disorders on the consumption of products, the same is true for overexposure to screens.

Validation Study of a Rapid Screening Test of Food Addiction in Patients Suffering From Obesity and Healthy Volunteer
Food addiction (FA) is a behavioral addiction characterized by a high consumption of palatable foods, which markedly activate the reward system, despite adverse consequences. FA was first described in 1956 but remains controversial. The Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), developed by Gearhardt et al. in 2009, is currently regarded as the "Gold Standard" for FA screening. In a previous study, we established a Food Addiction Screening Test using artificial intelligence. The main objective of the present study is to validate the sensitivity, specificity and precision for FA diagnosis in a sample of patient suffering from obesity and healthy volunteers.

Neuroimaging Response Inhibition and Salience Attribution Changes During Mindfulness-based Treatment of Human Heroin Addiction
In this study, neuroimaging of reward processing, drug cue reactivity and inhibitory control is used before and immediately after 8 weeks of two types of group therapy in individuals with opioid addiction; clinical outcomes will be assessed before, immediately and three months after treatment. Results could point to factors that track and predict recovery with treatment, offering clinicians markers that can be used for enhancing precision medicine with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality associated with opiate addiction.
