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 …
Alcohol Treatment Outcomes Following Early vs. Standard Liver Transplant for SAH
Given the severe consequences of alcohol relapse following liver transplantation for alcoholic hepatitis (AH-LT), it is critical to accurately identify alcohol use and implement alcohol interventions early in the post-transplant period to optimize patient outcomes. The proposed randomized clinical trial will examine the implementation and effects of integrated, person- and …
Tdcs And cogNitive traininG cOmbined for AUD (TANGO)
The overarching goal of this project is to expand the traditional expertise in non-invasive neuromodulation at the University of Minnesota towards developing novel paired-neuromodulation approaches using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for new treatments for alcohol use disorder (AUD) that support long-term abstinence. This study will allow the investigators to …
Phenotyping Patients With Alcohol and Cannabis Use Disorders Using the Addictions Neuroclinical Assessment
Although effective evidence-based interventions have been developed for alcohol and cannabis use disorders, it is still unclear which individuals respond best to treatment. A recent model known as the Addictions Neuroclinical Assessment (ANA) proposes that assessing for differences in three neurofunctional domains (executive function, incentive salience, and negative emotionality) could …
Semaglutide Therapy for Alcohol Reduction (STAR)
Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a problematic pattern of alcohol use accompanied by clinically significant medical consequences. Medications can help most people reduce their drinking, but the number is limited, and additional treatment options are needed. Objective To test if a medication named Semaglutide is safe and may reduce …
Integrated Treatment for Enhancing Growth in Recovery During Adolescence
This is a Phase II parallel group randomized controlled trial with 294 adolescents (age: 14-21 years) with alcohol and other drug [AOD] use disorder (hereafter substance use disorder), that compares two different active psychosocial interventions designed to address adolescent substance use disorder. Participants are recruited from our clinical settings and …
Systematic Referral to Alcohol Use Dependency Treatment in Patients With Alcohol-related Liver Disease: a RCT
To evaluate the efficacy of systematically referring newly diagnosed ALD patients to AUD treatment on alcohol abstinence after 6 months. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled superiority trial with parallel group design, hypothesis blinding and blinded outcome assessment comparing A) a referral to specialized AUD treatment (intervention) and B) …
Mobile Platform for Optimizing Wellness and Engagement in Recovery
This pilot study addresses the urgent public health crisis of co-occurring opioid and alcohol use disorders (OUD-AUD), leading causes of mortality in the United States, by testing a scalable digital contingency management (CM) treatment among Medicaid beneficiaries. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of digital CM for …
Neuromodulation and Cognitive Training for Substance Use Disorders
The relapsing nature of substance use disorder is a major obstacle to successful treatment. About 70% of those entering treatment will relapse within one year. To improve treatment outcome, new interventions targeting the underlying brain biomarkers of relapse vulnerability hold significant promise in reducing this critical public health problem. This …
