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 …
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.
Cannabidiol for Reducing Drinking in Alcohol Use Disorder
The non-psychotomimetic cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD) has been found effective for reducing alcohol drinking in mice. Moreover, other experimental studies have found that CBD reduced alcohol-induced steatosis in the liver, and reduced alcohol-related injury in the brain. Despite these promising results from animal data, no human study has been conducted …
Acute Effects of Alcohol on PET Imaging of Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B)
Background Phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B) is a protein in the brain that may play a role in several mental health disorders. Researchers want to know if drinking alcohol increases the binding of a radioactive tracer to PDE4B in the brain because of increased activity and/or amount of the protein. This knowledge may …
Anxiety During Abstinence in AUD
The goal of this study is to better understand the underlying neurobiological basis of anxiety that emerges during abstinence in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). The main questions it aims to answer are: To characterize anxiety itself as well as anxiety related-neurobiological circuitry in early abstinence in AUD To …
Involvement of the Septal Nuclei of the Human Brain in Alcohol Use Disorder
Alcohol activates reward systems in different brain areas, i.e., the nucleus accumbens, dorsal striatum, extended amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. These areas are all part of the reward neurocircuitry, which plays an important role in the development of addiction. A former study performed on rodents has shown that a specific area …
New Relapse Model in Psychiatry
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about risk factors of relapse in patients with alcohol use disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are : Among patients with Alcohol Use Disorder, are there clusters of patients with the same characteristics and the same outcome ? Which …
Renewed Recovery: a Pilot Test of a Web-Based Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Continuing Care Intervention for Alcohol Use Disorder
This study aims to design, implement, and evaluate a pilot test of a web-based Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) continuing care intervention to support individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) exiting standard outpatient treatment. Guided by the Centre for eHealth and Wellbeing Research (CeHRes) roadmap, the project follows a structured framework …
Baclofen for Anxiety and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD): an Open Label Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of baclofen for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in patients with or without comorbid anxiety symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do we see more abstinent days after the study period in patients with …
Effect of Repetitive TMS on Executive Function in Alcohol Use Disorder
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a major public health problem that affects the physical, social, family, and mental integrity of the sufferer. Behavioral self-regulation is compromised in AUD, and a benefit has been reported with the application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and emotional self-regulation. The aim of this study …
