Prazosin for ETOH or Cocaine Craving

AlcoholismCocaine Dependence

This double-blind placebo controlled crossover pilot trial will test the hypothesis that prazosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, reduces craving for their drug of choice in cocaine-dependent and alcohol-dependent veterans. Both the study medication period and the placebo period are each 4 weeks in duration.

Pilot Study Examining Effect for Dextroamphetamine to Treat Cocaine Dependence Plus Attention-deficit...

Attention Deficit Disorder With HyperactivityCocaine-Related Disorders1 more

Dextroamphetamine is commonly used to treat ADHD, and recent evidence suggests that this medication may decrease drug use in individuals dependent on cocaine. Thus, the present pilot study will determine the ability of dextroamphetamine to treat individuals with both cocaine dependence and ADHD.

Dopamine Rhythms in Health and Addiction

Cocaine Abuse

Background: - Dopamine is a chemical signal linked to the rewarding effects of drugs. Certain genes make these effects sensitive to the time of day they are taken. Cocaine can affect these genes in the brain. Researchers want to measure brain dopamine at different times of day. Objectives: - To look for changes to a person s biological clock in the function of the dopamine reward system. To test if cocaine disrupts this. Eligibility: Adults age 21-55 with a cocaine use disorder. Healthy volunteers age 21-55. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, interview, and blood and urine tests. Their breath will be tested for alcohol and recent smoking. Participants will have 3 overnight clinic visits. Visit 1: They will have blood and urine collected and a heart test. A plastic tube (catheter) will be placed into a vein in each arm by needle. Participants will have a PET scan in a donut-shaped machine. They will lie on a bed that slides in and out of it, wearing a cap. A radiotracer (measures dopamine) and a drug (blocks dopamine removal) will be injected via catheter. Vital signs will be measured and blood will be drawn throughout. Visit 2: repeats Visit 1, except at night. Visit 3, participants will have urine collected. They will have MRI scans in a metal cylinder surrounded by a magnetic field. They will lie on a table that slides in and out of it, with a coil over their head. Participants may answer questions, take computer or paper tests, and perform simple actions. For 1 week, participants will wear a wrist device that measures daily activity.

Neural Substrates of Emotion: Impact of Cocaine Dependence

Cocaine Use Disorder

Over one million individuals in the United States meet criteria for cocaine use disorders. Relapse rates are highest among cocaine-dependent (CD) populations. Social stress is a significant risk factor for relapse. Data from human neuroimaging studies suggest that "top-down" prefrontal cortical inhibition of amygdala activity controls emotional responses to social stimuli. A growing literature suggests that hypoactivity in the medial prefrontal cortex coupled with increases in amygdala activity underscore the vulnerability of CD individuals to relapse. Neuroimaging studies of corticolimbic network activity (functional connectivity) have been conducted in CD subjects at rest. Compared with healthy controls, CD subjects exhibited lower corticolimbic connectivity and the degree of corticolimbic uncoupling was associated with time to relapse. Studies measuring corticolimbic connectivity during exposure to a social stress task in CD subjects could provide critical insight into the neurobiologic mechanisms that underscore the sensitivity of CD individuals to social stress. Moreover interventions that improve corticolimbic connectivity in CD subjects may be effective therapeutic strategies for preventing relapse in CD populations. Oxytocin (OT) is an anxiolytic neuropeptide that attenuates amygdala responses to aversive social cues. In order to better understand the neurobiologic mechanisms that control emotion-related behavior in CD populations, we propose a double-blind placebo (PBO) controlled study using blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure (1) corticolimbic functional connectivity during the Montreal Imaging Stress Task (MIST) and (2) amygdala activity in response to an implicit facial affect recognition paradigm in groups of CD individuals (CD n=80) and healthy non-dependent controls (HC, n=80). Prior to the scanning session, participants will receive either intranasal OT (24 IU) or PBO spray (n=40 per treatment group). The order of the tasks will be counterbalanced.

Developing Adaptive Interventions for Cocaine Cessation and Relapse Prevention

Cocaine-Related Disorders

First, the investigators will determine whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in combination with Contingency Management increases initial treatment response rates. Second, for patients who do not respond to initial treatment, the investigators will examine whether dopamine-targeted pharmacotherapy is an effective augmentation strategy. Third, for patients who respond to initial treatment, the investigators will assess the relative benefit of continued treatment with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in combination with Contingency Management, as compared to Drug Counseling in combination with Contingency Management, to prevent relapse.
