Impact of Cannabis Use and Abstinence on Emotion (ICAE)
30 juli 2026 uppdaterad av: Rick James Macatee, Florida State University
Impact of Cannabis Withdrawal and Early Abstinence on Threat and Reward Processing
The goal of this experimental study is to test how three weeks of cannabis abstinence impacts threat and reward processing in females with Cannabis Use Disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Compared to using cannabis as usual, will cannabis cue reactivity increase throughout three weeks of abstinence from cannabis?
Compared to using cannabis as usual, will threat reactivity be elevated at weeks 1 and 2 of abstinence followed by a decrease at week 3 of abstinence?
Compared to using cannabis as usual, will non-drug reward reactivity be lower at weeks 1 and 2 of abstinence followed by an increase at week 3 of abstinence?
Compared to successful 3-week abstainers, will threat, non-drug reward, and cannabis cue reactivity differ in relapsers?
Researchers will compare females with CUD who abstain from cannabis for three weeks to those who continue to use cannabis as usual to see how cannabis abstinence impacts threat and reward processing.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to continue using cannabis as usual or abstain from cannabis for three weeks Visit the lab 6 times over three weeks, followed by a 1-month follow-up lab visit for the participants assigned to the cannabis abstinence condition Complete phone surveys every other day across the three week study period

Experimentell: Contingency Management for Cannabis Abstinence and Lab Visit Attendance
Participants randomly assigned to this arm will receive contingency management for three weeks to reinforce sustained abstinence from cannabis and attendance at all lab visits.
|
Escalating monetary reinforcement is provided for continuous cannabis abstinence and lab visit attendance across the three week study period.

Övrig: Contingency Management for Lab Visit Attendance
Participants randomly assigned to this arm will receive contingency management for three weeks to reinforce attendance at all lab visits.
Participants will continue to use cannabis as usual.

Åtgärdsbeskrivning |
Tidsram |
|---|---|---|
|
Late Positive Potential
Tidsram: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and (for contingency management abstinence group only) One-Month Follow-Up
|
The Late Positive Potential (neural measure recorded via electroencephalography) will be quantified from ~400 to 3000ms at central-parietal sensors relative to the onset of a cannabis, neutral, unpleasant, or pleasant image.
The Late Positive Potential to cannabis vs. neutral and cannabis vs. pleasant will be the primary contrasts of interest.
|
Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and (for contingency management abstinence group only) One-Month Follow-Up
|
|
Reward Positivity
Tidsram: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and (for contingency management abstinence group only) One-Month Follow-Up
|
The Reward Positivity (neural measure recorded via electroencephalography) will be quantified from ~200-300ms at frontal-central sensors relative to the onset of monetary win and loss feedback.
The win vs. loss contrast will be the primary outcome of interest.
|
Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and (for contingency management abstinence group only) One-Month Follow-Up
|
|
Eyeblink Startle Response
Tidsram: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and (for contingency management abstinence group only) One-Month Follow-Up
|
The Eyeblink Startle Response (recorded via EMG sensors) will be quantified as the peak blink amplitude relative to the onset of an auditory startle probe during blocks with predictable shocks, unpredictable shocks, and no threat of shock.
The Eyeblink Startle Response during unpredictable shock threat vs. no shock threat will be the primary contrast of interest.

Delta Power
Tidsram: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and (for contingency management abstinence group only) One-Month Follow-Up
|
Delta Power (neural time-frequency measure recorded via electroencephalography) will be quantified as event-related spectral power from 1-3.5Hz at frontal-central sensors relative to the onset of monetary win and loss feedback.
The win vs. loss contrast will be the primary outcome of interest.

Delta Intertrial Phase Coherence
Tidsram: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, and (for contingency management abstinence group only) One-Month Follow-Up
|
Delta Intertrial Phase Coherence (neural time-frequency measure recorded via electroencephalography) will be quantified as intertrial phase coherence of 1-3.5Hz oscillations at frontal-central sensors relative to the onset of monetary win and loss feedback.
The win vs. loss contrast will be the primary outcome of interest.
