PT150 Drug for Use in Alcohol Use Disorder
The goal of this study is to learn if PT150 can reduce the behavioral and physical effects of stress, alcohol, and alcohol use in people with alcohol use disorder.
Attentional Control Training for Treating Alcohol Use Disorder
Background: There is consistent evidence that community and clinical samples of individuals with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) have attentional biases toward alcohol cues. The alcohol attentional control training program (AACTP) has shown promise for retraining these biases and decreasing alcohol consumption in community samples of excessive drinkers. However, there …
Environment and Alcohol: A Pilot Study
Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic disease that causes more than 140,000 US deaths each year. AUD treatment often includes therapy and medication. Some people with AUD may also benefit from behavioral and lifestyle changes. Objective To evaluate the effects of different activities and environments on drinking behaviors …
Deep Brain Stimulation to Understand and Treat Addiction
This study is testing whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can safely help people with severe alcohol use disorder who have not improved with standard treatments. DBS uses small electrical signals to change activity in brain areas linked to craving, self-control, and emotion. The study will test whether this treatment can …
Neurobehavioral Mechanisms of Psilocybin-assisted Treatment for AUD
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 mechanistic clinical trial designed to evaluate the therapeutic neural mechanisms of psilocybin in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD), and to determine whether further studies are warranted to study the relationship of any such effects to clinical improvement in AUD symptoms. The …
Alcohol Use Disorder and Cannabidiol
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study designed to assess the efficacy of full spectrum CBD and broad spectrum CBD, compared to a placebo control (PC), to reduce drinking in participants with alcohol use disorder. If eligible for the study, subjects will be randomized to receive one of the …
Suicidal Behavior in Patients Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder
The purpose of this study is to learn the environmental and psychological factors that impact suicidality in patients diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Additionally, the study aims to identify treatments to reduce the suicidal behavior and improve quality of life through a 6-week group-based intervention program.
Pharmaceutically-Enhanced Reinforcement for Reduced Alcohol and Smoking
Using a randomized controlled trial (RCT), the goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of evidence based behavioral treatment (contingency management: CM) to significantly decrease alcohol use and cigarette smoking among treatment-seeking smokers with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) who have initiated pharmacotherapy (varenicline; VC) for smoking cessation.
Suvorexant for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD): Neural Mechanisms
Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a leading cause of disease and death worldwide. New treatments for AUD are needed. Dopamine, a chemical that carries signals between brain cells, is thought to play a role in alcohol addiction. Researchers want to learn how Suvorexant, a drug used to treat sleep …
Ketone Ester Intervention in Alcohol Use Disorder
The purpose of this research is to study how a nutritional ketone ester may effect brain function and alcohol consumption in regular alcohol users. The study will see how the brain responds, once after drinking the ketone ester and once after drinking a "placebo", which will look and taste the …
