Alcohol and Cigarette Craving During Oxytocin Treatment
February 1, 2024 updated by: Kimberly Goodyear, Brown University
The Neural Mechanisms Associated With Alcohol and Cigarette Craving in Alcohol Use Disorder Smokers During Oxytocin Treatment
This proposed research seeks to examine the behavioral and neural substrates of intranasal oxytocin compared to placebo on alcohol cue-induced alcohol and cigarette craving smokers with an alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Non treatment-seeking smokers with an AUD will be recruited to participate in a between-subjects, placebo-controlled, randomized pilot functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study.
Participants will undergo an fMRI scan in conjunction with an alcohol-olfactory cue-reactivity task.
Secondary assessments will include alcohol and cigarette craving, alcohol and cigarette consumption, physiological measures (heart rate and blood pressure) and mood measures.
