Enhancing Prospective Thinking in Early Recovery
The goal of this clinical trial is to use a novel virtual reality intervention to test for efficacy in reducing alcohol use and increasing abstinence, with concomitant increases in future self-identification, future time perspective, and delay-of-reward, in early recovering alcohol use disorder (AUD) persons. The main question[s] this trial aims …
Study of the Drivers of Late Diagnosis of Alcohol Related Diseases, Alone or in Combination With Metabolic Dysfunconal Associated Fatty Liver Disease, Implementation and Evaluation of Itnerventions to Reduce Its Burden.
Excessive alcohol use is a leading risk factor for preventable disability and death. Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is one of the better-known detrimental consequences of alcohol abuse and is the main cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in European adults. ALD is the main cause of cirrhosis globally and is …
Effectiveness of Combined Tobacco Treatment in Hospitalized Subjects
In the 20th century, tobacco caused the death of 100 million people worldwide and it is estimated that it will be responsible for 1 billion deaths in the 21st century[1]. Currently 8 million people die each year from smoking, 7 million are associated with active smoking [2], thus being the …
Sex Differences in Trauma, Inflammation and Brain Function and the Implications for Treatment Efficacy in Alcohol Use Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify sex-specific biomarkers that confer greater susceptibility for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and differentiate how treatment response varies by sex in people with Alcohol Use Disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does trauma affect emotion regulation, inflammation, and …
Impulsivity Domains and Subjective Response
Findings from this project will determine the relationship between two vulnerability factors for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in young adults: impulsivity and subjective response to alcohol. The results will identify badly needed, novel targets for prevention and treatment efforts to simultaneously reduce impulsivity and subjective responses in at-risk young adults.
iTBS for Alcohol Use Disorder
The two primary objectives of this study are to test whether intermittent theta-burst (iTBS) can affect behavioral change as compared to treatment as usual (TAU, sham) in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) in inpatient substance use treatment. The secondary objective is to determine whether iTBS reduces the risk for …
Developing a Novel Human Laboratory Paradigm for AUD Medication Screening
The intent of the study is to develop two versions of the 'ability to resist' drinking model designed to screen Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) medications.
PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B) in Alcohol Use Disorder
Background People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) also often have bouts of depression called major depressive episodes (MDEs). People having MDEs have been found to have low levels of a protein called PDE4B in the brain. Researchers want to find out if people with AUD also have low levels of …
Guanfacine for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
The investigators assess whether guanfacine extended release (GXR; 3mg/d) compared with placebo (PBO) will attenuate drinking and drinking-related factors in N=200 men and women with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) across 12-weeks.
Evaluating Cannabidiol as a Novel Anticraving Medication for Alcohol Use Disorder
This human laboratory study aims to assess the effects of cannabidiol on alcohol consumption and craving in participants with alcohol use disorder. In this double-blind within-subject placebo-controlled crossover trial, participants will be randomized to receive both cannabidiol and placebo with a 2-week washout period separating the two treatment phases.
