Use of Intranasal Oxytocin During Detoxification of Crack Cocaine
Cocaine WithdrawalCocaine Smoking1 moreRandomized treatment control trial, double-blind, parallel, with two arms including ninety-six hospitalized women between 18 and 52 years. Those who agree to participate in the study and meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated to one of the following experimental conditions: Conventional oxytocin treatment (T + OC): 32 female cocaine users hospitalized for detoxification will receive six 4 IU jets of intranasal oxytocin twice daily (daily dose of 48 IU) as adjunctive treatment to conventional treatment from the eighth to seventeenth day of hospitalization (duration of oxytocin treatment of 10 days). Conventional treatment includes supportive individual and group psychotherapy (once a week), nutritional control, regular physical activity and psychopharmacotherapy as needed to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, aggression and agitation typical of withdrawal and care. 21 days of hospitalization. Conventional treatment with placebo administration (T + PBO): 32 female cocaine users hospitalized for detoxification will receive six jets of placebo solution (2% odor-generating propolis essence + the same vehicle as intra-nasal oxytocin: 0.05% citric acid, 0.9% sodium chloride, 1% glycerol, 0.54% disodium phosphate, 0.2% methylparaben + propylparaben, 1% sorbitol, 80% water) twice daily as adjunctive treatment to conventional treatment from the eighth to the seventeenth day of hospitalization (duration of placebo treatment of 10 days). Conventional treatment includes supportive individual and group psychotherapy (once a week), nutritional control, regular physical activity and psychopharmacotherapy as needed to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, aggression and agitation typical of withdrawal and care. 21 days of hospitalization. Conventional treatment (T): 32 female cocaine users hospitalized for detoxification will receive conventional treatment including individual and group supportive psychotherapy (once a week), nutritional control, regular physical activity and psychopharmacotherapy if needed for symptom relief. anxiety, aggression and agitation, typical of abstinence and nursing care, during 21 days of hospitalization. Outcomes: Withdrawal symptoms, Anxiety symptoms and Depressive symptoms

Effects of Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on the Treatment of Cocaine Addicted...
Cocaine AddictionTreatment1 moreCocaine addiction is a serious disease. Nowadays we still have no efficient method reducing craving and extending the abstinence period of this patients during treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate reduction if craving and other parameters related to addiction within this group of patients through a treatment with transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Methylphenidate Raclopride Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Test - 11
Cocaine-Related DisordersSubstance-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to evaluate PET methodology to study in vivo synaptic dopamine release.
Glutamate-Glutamine Cycling (VCYC) During Cocaine Abstinence Using 1H-MRS
Cocaine DependenceHealthyThis study is designed to look at the relationship between brain glucose utilization, neurotransmission (e.g., glutamate, also known as the main excitatory amino-acid neurotransmitter in the brain), and synaptic density. This relationship will be explored in the brain's prefrontal cortex, an area important in decision-making and impulsivity.
Pathophysiological Subtyping of Abnormalities in Cocaine Dependence - 9
Cocaine-Related DisordersSubstance-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to define pathophysiological subtypes of abnormalities in subjects with cocaine dependence.
Evaluation of Modafinil as a Cocaine Treatment Medication and Interactions With Cocaine - 1
Cocaine-Related DisordersDrug Administration Schedule2 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate modafinil, a cocaine treatment medication, and its interactions with intravenous (IV) cocaine.
Longitudinal Assessment of Functional Connectivity in Treatment Engaged Cocaine Users
Cocaine DependenceSubstance Use DisordersHigh-relapse rates to addiction are likely due to motivational (limbic) and cognitive (executive) factors. The purpose of this proposal is to determine the relationship between functional connectivity in executive control regions (namely the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) and both proximal and extended outcomes in treatment seeking cocaine and opiate users. This longitudinal neuroimaging study will assess the integrity of executive and limbic circuits 4 timepoints before and after a 28-day intensive outpatient treatment program. Controls will also be recruited as a comparison group. The fundamental neuroscience knowledge gained from this proposal will be used to develop new evidence-based brain stimulation treatment strategies to enhance the integrity of these circuits and subsequent outcomes in traditional treatment programs. The purpose of this study is not only to look at the integrity of these circuits in individuals entering treatment but also to see how these circuits change after treatment and if this can be used to predict outcomes. From the larger societal perspective this research may help us determine which individuals are likely going to benefit the most from treatment and perhaps those that are at a greater risk for relapse.
