Effects of HRV Biofeedback on Autonomic Function and Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms and Dependence...

Heart Rate VariabilityBiofeedback5 more

This study is a randomized controlled trial. It is estimated that 80 quitters will be recruited, and they will be randomly included in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. The experimental group will be involved in heart rate variability biological feedback training for eight weeks, and the control group will receive conventional treatment. Use the scale to assess the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal-anxiety, depression and insomnia, as well as the degree of nicotine dependence before and after the intervention; the autonomic nervous function of the participants was measured by heart rhythm variation before and after the intervention; in addition, the cessation of smoking was tracked by telephone once a month for six Months. Discuss interventional biological feedback training and evaluate its effectiveness in improving heart rate variability, which represents autonomic nervous function, and alleviating nicotine withdrawal anxiety, insomnia, and depression symptoms, as well as nicotine dependence.

Adapting and Evaluating a Tobacco Use Cessation Program for People Living With HIV in Uganda and...

Nicotine DependenceTobacco Dependence

This proposal tests the efficacy of a phone-based tobacco cessation intervention for people living with HIV (PLWH) in comparison to the standard of care (brief advice to quit) and nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patches) in Uganda and Zambia. This study will provide insight into the efficacy, feasibility, applicability, and affordability of delivering tobacco cessation interventions through health care professionals at HIV treatment centers in two countries with different tobacco use patterns, policy environments, and health care resources. The previously tested SMS-platform to be used in this study is uniquely positioned to be scaled in low- and middle-income countries worldwide, in which case rigorous research showing even modest success in reducing the prevalence of tobacco consumption among PLWH could confer substantial health and economic benefits.

Smoking Cessation and Menstrual Cycle Phase

Nicotine DependenceTobacco Smoking3 more

Tobacco use is a risk factor for at least 20 types of cancer and remains the leading preventable cause of cancer in Canada. Smoking cessation is an important cancer prevention strategy for the close to 2 million Canadian women who currently smoke. However, findings from controlled trials and real-world clinical settings indicate that women have greater difficulty achieving abstinence following a quit attempt than men. There is some evidence that hormonal levels and fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle (MC) may contribute to the greater difficulty women experience when trying to quit smoking. In this study, the start of a quit attempt using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) will be targeted to specific phases of MC. It was hypothesized that starting a quit attempt during the first half of MC (follicular phase) will result in increased quit success compared to starting during the second half of MC (luteal phase) or the usual practice of not targeting quit start date to MC phase.

Mobile Health for Problematic Behaviors and Substance Use

AddictionBehavioral Addiction3 more

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term and short-term app-based self-guided psychological interventions to reduce craving and lapse risk in problematic behaviors (compulsive sex, pornography, overeating, gaming, gambling) and substance use (cannabis, nicotine). Participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control. Participants in the intervention group have access to short-term and long-term interventions, whereas those in the control group only have access to the weekly ecological momentary assessment reports. Participants in the intervention group are able to access the intervention materials 5 days after enrollment and receive weekly ecological momentary assessment reports. Those in the control group will be granted access to all intervention materials after five weeks following study enrollment. A questionnaire battery assessments is administered (1) at baseline in the first week following onboarding in; (2) after 5 weeks; (3) after six months. In addition, longitudinal data on several variables related to craving and lapse risk are collected daily using ecological momentary assessment

Study Assessing Efficacy and Safety of NFL-101 as a Tobacco Cessation Therapy

Smoking CessationNicotine Dependence

CESTO 2 is a 318 participants, 3-arm, multicentric, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial. The main objectives are to select the most efficient dose and to assess long-term efficacy of NFL-101 compared to placebo, for abrupt cessation and for reduction before cessation.

A Smart Approach to Treating Tobacco Use Disorder in Persons Living With HIV

Tobacco Use Cessation

Many people living with HIV (PLWH) smoke. Smoking in these individuals is often undertreated. This study plans to assess the ability of various clinical pathways involving tobacco treatment medications and contingency management (paying smokers for not smoking) to improve smoking cessation in a group of PLWH.

Comparing Two Behavioral Approaches to Quitting Smoking in Mental Health Settings

Tobacco Use DisorderMental Illness5 more

The study team will conduct a Multisite Randomized Controlled Trial to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of two approaches for quitting smoking among people with serious mental illness (SMI). The study will compare a novel app tailored to people with SMI, Quit on the Go, to a standard of care smoking cessation intervention. We will test the effectiveness of the Quit on the Go app, an intervention that has demonstrated feasibility and acceptability in the target population, as a tool for smoking cessation in people with SMI. Participants with SMI will be recruited across 2 sites (Duke University and Univ. at Buffalo).

Identifying Effective Treatment for Veterans Unwilling to Quit Smoking

Tobacco DependenceVeterans

This project will generate knowledge about the effectiveness of Enhanced Chronic Care, an intervention designed to enhance treatment use and smoking abstinence in Veterans who are initially unwilling to quit. Enhanced Chronic Care provides ongoing motivational interventions and interpersonal support designed to promote readiness to quit smoking. Enhanced Chronic Care will be compared with Standard Care (brief advice to quit once per year) on criteria that are of great clinical and public health importance: use of cessation treatment and smoking abstinence. It is expected that Enhanced Chronic Care will increase treatment use and smoking abstinence relative to Standard Care.

Smoking Reduction In Gravid Substance Use Disorders

Tobacco Smoking in Mother Complicating PregnancyTobacco Use Disorder1 more

The aim of this study is to encourage smoking cessation in women with substance use disorders by providing knowledge of expired carbon monoxide. We hypothesize that women who are provided knowledge of their expired carbon monoxide and the associated percent fetal carboxyhemoglobin will have a greater success at quitting smoking during pregnancy than women who are not provided this information. A secondary aim of the study is to correlate expired carbon monoxide throughout pregnancy with infant birth weight.
