Filter by:The goal of this behavioral research study is to create and study a Mindfulness-Based Addiction Treatment (MBAT) for nicotine dependence. Mindfulness is a method to help focus attention on being in the "here and now." It can be learned through training in how to control one's attention. It is usually taught through meditation. The overarching goals of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of MBAT for nicotine dependence and the mechanisms and effects posited to mediate MBAT's impact on abstinence.
The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of telephone-based counseling in promoting smokeless tobacco cessation among residents of Minnesota. It is hypothesized that a greater proportion of individuals assigned to the proactive telephone calls will quit their use of smokeless tobacco products and all tobacco products compared to the comparison group not receiving those calls.
The purpose of this study is develop and test the success of a new smoking cessation intervention that includes a component to eliminate binge drinking.
Nicotine is highly addictive and many individuals are unable to quit smoking even with treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of various doses of NicVAX in treating nicotine dependent individuals.
The purpose of this study is to test in a randomized clinical trial a series of hypotheses concerning the efficacy of an extended expert-system intervention plus nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for treating tobacco dependence among patients hospitalized on a smoke-free psychiatric unit.
Smoking is a major health problem with a direct link to elevated heart- and lung-related problems. Nicotine is highly addictive, which makes quitting difficult and relapse after quitting highly probable. Any type of sleep disturbance may make quitting even harder. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of bupropion and nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) on sleep disturbances. In turn, this might show how such medications affect attempts at smoking cessation.
Despite the widespread use of nicotine replacement therapies for the treatment of nicotine dependence, many smokers are still unable to quit smoking. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of selegiline as an aid to help smokers quit smoking.
Little is known about the best ways to help young people stop smoking. Bupropion (a medication marketed as Wellbutrin or Zyban) has proved helpful in treating adult smokers. The purpose of this study is to determine if bupropion is also effective in treating smokers between the ages of 12 and 25 years old. This study also compares the effectiveness of bupropion used as a supplement to behavioral treatment versus behavioral treatment used alone. In addition, the study evaluates whether hormonal response to stress measured prior to the start of treatment predicts whether individuals respond well to treatment with medication.
Schizophrenic individuals are typically nicotine dependent smokers who find it difficult to quit smoking. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of bupropion SR (commonly known as Zyban) in combination with a nicotine transdermal patch (NTP), in helping schizophrenic individuals quit smoking. In addition, this study will evaluate how the combination of bupropion SR and NTP affects psychiatric symptoms and medication side effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a 10-week smoking cessation therapy combined with NicoDerm CQ for smoking cessation among female prisoners.
