Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to investigate the relative contributions of nicotine replacement and sensorimotor replacement (i.e., smoking denicotinized cigarettes) on abstinence-induced smoking urges, withdrawal-related negative affect, psychiatric symptoms, cognitive task performance and 90-min ad libitum usual-brand smoking behavior in smokers with schizophrenia and non-psychiatric smokers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study used a mixed between- and within-subjects design to investigate the separate and combined effects of sensorimotor replacement for smoking (very low nicotine content \[VLNC\] cigarettes vs. no cigarettes) and transdermal nicotine replacement (42 mg nicotine \[NIC\] vs. placebo \[PLA\] patches) in smokers with schizophrenia and control smokers without psychiatric illness. Each session contained a 5-h controlled administration period in which participants underwent the following conditions, in counterbalanced order: VLNC + NIC, VLNC + PLA, no cigarettes + NIC, no cigarettes + PLA, Usual Brand cigarettes + no patches. Next, participants completed measures of cigarette craving, nicotine withdrawal, smoking habit withdrawal, cigarette subjective effects, psychiatric symptoms and cognitive task performance followed by a 90-min period of ad libitum usual-brand smoking.

CROSSOVER

Within-subjects design study that investigated the separate and combined effects of sensorimotor replacement for smoking (very low nicotine content \[VLNC\] cigarettes vs. no cigarettes) and transdermal nicotine replacement (42 mg nicotine \[NIC\] vs. placebo \[PLA\] patches). Participants were smokers with schizophrenia and equally-heavy smokers without psychiatric disorders. Each participant underwent the following conditions, in counterbalanced order: VLNC + NIC, VLNC + PLA, no cigarettes + NIC, no cigarettes + PLA, usual-brand cigarettes + no patches.
