The Effects of a Single Session of Real Versus Sham Theta Burst Stimulation on the Brain Response to Drug-cues
High relapse rates among substance dependent individuals are likely due to a combination of factors that involve limbic circuits in the brain involved in craving, including vulnerability to salient cues. Emerging data suggests that non-invasive, targeted brain stimulation may be able to modulate activity in these circuits and decrease craving. The primary goal of this pilot study is to determine the extent to which a single session of continuous theta burst stimulation to the medial prefrontal cortex can attenuate limbic circuitry involved in craving among cocaine users and alcohol users. This will be tested through a double-blind,sham-controlled brain stimulation and brain imaging study in a cohort of polysubstance abusers and alcohol users.

Effect of Protein Supplementation on Craving in Subjects Hospitalised for Addiction Treatment. Monocentric Pilot Study.
Moncentric pilot study conducted in the addictology department of the Pau Hospital, designed to demonstrate the benefit of protein supplementation on craving in patients with a substance use disorder at the start of their treatment for addiction. This study will be conducted according a crossover design with a one-week phase with protein supplementation (P) and a one-week phase without protein supplementation (SP).

The Effect of Mindfulness Intervention Program on Adolescents' Internet Addiction: Quasi-Experimental Study
The Internet shows its presence in areas where human beings are actively involved, from education to health, from entertainment to the investment sector. The integration of the Internet into many areas of human life leads to its intensive use. According to the Global Digital Report, the number of individuals with access to the Internet worldwide at the beginning of 2024 is stated as 5.35 billion, and this number constitutes more than 66% of the total world population. One of the pioneering studies on internet addiction was conducted by Young. In this study, five subtypes of internet addiction were identified. These are cyber sex addiction (obsessive use of adult sites such as cyber sex, cyber porn), cyber relationship addiction (excessive involvement in online relationships), net compulsions (online gambling, shopping and trading), information overload (on websites). and constantly surfing databases) and computer addiction (playing computer games). Considering the sub-dimensions of internet addiction, it is seen that it affects many areas of life, from family life to interpersonal relationships, from social life to economic life. Conscious awareness is the awareness of one's internal state and environment. Mindfulness can help people avoid destructive or automatic habits and reactions by learning to observe their thoughts, feelings, and other momentary experiences without judging or reacting. Acting based on awareness is a much different way of life than the autopilot approach in which the individual carries out his daily routines and activities. In studies, mindfulness is examined not only to prevent the recurrence of addiction, but also as a long-term, ongoing health behavior that supports the recovery of addiction. Determining the effect of a mindfulness-based intervention program applied to adolescent nursing students studying at a university on internet addiction and awareness. is intended.

Dissemination, Acceptability and Adaptation Study of Two Transdiagnostic Psychological Interventions Based on Emotional Regulation (ER) for the Treatment of Alcohol Addiction: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT) and Unified Protocol (UP)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the dissemination and implementation process of two transdiagnostic psychological interventions (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders-DBT-SUD and Unified Protocol-UP) to treat alcohol addiction by mental health practitioners in the Spanish National Health System. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Are there differences before and after receiving DBT-SUD and UP training in the attitudes toward evidence-based psychological treatments (EBPTs), level of burnout and organizational climate and readiness to implement the interventions in mental health practitioners working with alcohol addiction? What is the degree of acceptability and intention to use the interventions in clinical practice with people with alcohol addiction of the practitioners after each training (DBT-SUD and UP)? In what degree the implementation outcomes (adoption, reach, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, sustainability) will be achieved by the practitioners implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice? What are the main barriers and facilitators that practitioners will encounter during the process of implementing DBT-SUD and UP in clinical practice? What variables will predict a successful implementation considering previous characteristics of the professionals and the organizational outcomes? The study comprises two phases. In the first phase, mental health professionals working on addiction services of the Spanish National Health System will be randomly assigned to receive training in one intervention and then the other (DBT-SUD and UP) and will be evaluated before and after each training. In the second phase, participants will be randomly assigned to implement one intervention first and then the other in their workplaces with people with alcohol addiction and will be also assessed before and after the implementation. Qualitative and quantitate outcome measures will be analyzed using a Mixed- Methods-Design.

Can Exercise Rewire the Brain Addiction Circuitry? A Randomized Trial of Exercise and Binge Drinking
The aim of the present study is to apply neuroimaging techniques to investigate how physical exercise may influence the addiction circuitry, ultimately reducing alcohol consumption and craving in youth binge drinkers. This proposal will advance knowledge on how exercise may modulate the neurocircuitry of addiction. Uncovering the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the interactive neural effects of exercise and alcohol intake may provide additional scientific insights for the development of preventive and intervention programs for youth BD and AUD.

Assessing the Role of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Aberrant Executive Function in the Context of Major Depressive Disorder in Adult Outpatients Seeking Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder
The prefrontal cortex, although well established as an efficacious target for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), has recently come into favour as a therapeutic target for alcohol use disorders (AUD). Depressive symptoms are also highly prevalent in individuals with AUD. A number of cognitive and psychological processes stemming from the prefrontal cortex, a common treatment target for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), are disrupted in both MDD and AUD. The proposed study will enhance the development of theta burst stimulation (TBS) as a new intervention for AUD in the context of depressive symptoms and uses integrated TMS-EEG to identify neurophysiological targets of executive dysfunction in this disorder.

A Comparison of Exercise Education Outcomes Based on Nicotine Addiction Levels in Smoking Students
Smoking can damage lung functions as a result of high carbon monoxide and low hemoglobin oxygen carrying capacity in the blood. Smoking between young people continues to increase, which can cause respiratory function problems and lung diseases at an early age. In the studies, it has been seen that smoking may reduce the oppression and exercise ability.

tACS Intervention for Methamphetamine Addiction
A growing body of evidence suggests a wide range of brain areas are critical for regulating cognitive control over decisions and involving in drug related cue processing. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) over prefrontal cortex reduces craving for meth dependences. In this study, the investigators investigated whether a current level of 15mA with a patented frequency of 77.5Hz tACS intervention of prefrontal cortex cortices in methamphetamine addiction could reduce the subjective craving and improve the cognitive abilities.
