Investigation of Cocaine Addiction Using mGluR5 PET and fMRI

Cocaine Dependence

The proposed research program will investigate the changes in brain chemistry and circuitry that 're-wire' the brain during chronic cocaine use, promote relapse, and complicate treatment efforts. Currently-using and non-treatment-seeking individuals with a cocaine use disorder will undergo a cocaine self-administration paradigm 2-5 days prior to completing positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

The Relationship Between Cervical Hypolordosis and Pain, Phone Addiction, and Nomophobia

Neck Pain

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between the degree of neck straightening and pain, phone addiction and nomophobia in young adult patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of neck pain and were diagnosed with neck straightening as a result of radiological examinations. 120 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of neck pain and were diagnosed with cervical hypolordosis by radiological examination will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, a link will be sent to the phones of the patients whose informed consent was obtained. Patients will access evaluation questions and survey questions via this link. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); phone addiction level with the Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire (Young Population); nomophobia levels will be evaluated with the Nomophobia Scale.

Stress, Hormones, and Eating

Food AddictionHow Opioid Tone Was Related to Self Reported1 more

The investigators will develop a measure of endogenous opioid tone that might serve as a biological marker for drive for palatable food. Using a 'naltrexone probe,' the investigators will assess whether individual response to one dose of an opioid receptor antagonist, naltrexone, is related to non-homeostatic eating in non-pregnant women. Hypothesis 1: Naltrexone Response will be related to non-homeostatic eating. Hypothesis 2: Response profiles to the 25 mg dose will be slightly less in magnitude than the 50 mg dose. However, responses will be similarly related to non-homeostatic eating measures. Hypothesis 3: Response to naltrexone will be highly stable within individuals across time, in the absence of an intervention.

Real Time Assessment of Drug Craving, Use, and Abstinence During Outpatient: A Development and Feasibility...

Cocaine AddictionOpiate Addiction

Background: The treatment of addiction often hinges on preventing relapse into drug-using behaviors, which occurs at high rates even after prolonged abstinence. Research has shown that constant reporting through personal data-collection devices, such as electronic diaries, can help prevent relapse and reinforce abstinence. This constant reporting is known as Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). The researchers here at NIDA have already completed two major arms of the study, focusing on patterns of craving and drug use during methadone maintenance, and on whether electronic diaries could help remind outpatients to complete treatment tasks. An ongoing arm of the study is examining connections among drug craving/use, stress, and geographical location. Objective: - To investigate the role of stress associated with geographical location in drug craving and use. Eligibility: - Individuals between 18 and 65 years of age or older who are dependent on opioids (cocaine and/or heroin). Design: The study will last 28 weeks. After the initial screening, participants will receive daily methadone and weekly drug counseling sessions that will continue throughout the study. After 3 weeks of methadone treatment, participants will have 15 weeks of EMA in which they will record both event-triggered cravings and daily responses (3 per day). EMA will consist of event-triggered recordings (initiated by participants whenever they use heroin or cocaine, or whenever they feel an urge to do so) and random-signal-triggered recordings (3 per day). During EMA, participants will begin a voucher-based program to encourage abstinence from heroin and cocaine. Participants will also carry global positioning system (GPS) units to record their locations during these 15 weeks, and will complete questionnaires about stress levels at specific intervals during the study. At the end of the study, participants will have the choice of transferring to a community clinic or undergoing an 8-week taper from methadone.

MBRP on Reducing Craving and Addictive Behaviour in Adults

Substance AbuseSubstance Use Disorders

Mindfulness-base interventions are promising interventions as an adjunctive therapy to be integrated into current existing anti-drug services. The advantages of MBRP can include: 1) having very low stigma as mindfulness courses are already widely accepted and used among different populations including healthy populations. The running of mindfulness courses can be more acceptable by the community; 2) it could be more accessible and cost-effective as it can be provided in group and in community settings; 3) it is a skill that can be learned and be used after the 8 week course , e.g. when the drug user is triggered in unforeseen circumstances, they may apply the learnt mindfulness skills to help themselves overcome the difficulties when timely professional help is not available; 4) Drug Abuse Statistics from Narcotics Division, Security Bureau of the government of Hong Kong showed that the most common reasons for recurrent drug use were to avoid discomfort of its absence (62%) and relief of depression/stress/boredom (30%). The study objectives are as follow: To evaluate the feasibility of using mindfulness- based relapse prevention (MBRP) programme among adults with substance abuse in Hong Kong; To examine the changes of craving, substance use, mood symptoms, self-efficacy, acceptance, level of mindfulness and quality of life between those who have enrolled in the MBRP as compared to those in the usual care control group; To evaluate the correlations between changes in substance use and craving and changes in mood symptoms, self-efficacy, acceptance, level of mindfulness, and quality of life; and To study participants' characteristics related to adherence and benefits associated with MBRP.

tDCS to Reduce Craving in Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine Use DisorderCocaine Dependence

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation in which low level electrical currents are applied to the scalp in order to alter brain function. In the present study, tDCS will be administered with the goal of assessing the tolerability and feasibility of this approach to 1) reduce an individual's level of drug craving and 2) provide evidence to support the use of this device by the patient for future unsupervised stimulation in a non-clinical setting. Research Questions: Can tDCS be used successfully to train cocaine addicted individuals for self-administration purposes? Can active tDCS be used to decrease drug craving in individuals with cocaine use disorders? Does active tDCS outperform sham tDCS in reducing drug craving?
