Trial Outcomes & Findings for Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms and Smoking Relapse (NCT NCT01511614)

NCT ID: NCT01511614

Last Updated: 2024-05-31

Results Overview

BOLD percent signal change in right Anterior Cingulate Cortex (rACC) during parametric flanker task. This table is during 2mA Anodal tDCS at the left Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), 2mA Cathodal tDCS at left dlPFC, or sham stimulation (i.e. placebo). The 3 task conditions are congruent (i.e. flanker stimuli are identical to target) and medium and high levels of incongruent.

Measure
Main Study - Treatment
Healthy male and female adults who have a history of 1 or more of consistently years smoking cigarettes with a urine cotinine level corresponding to smoker status for the specific test being used, typically corresponding to a urine cotinine above about 200 ng/ml, and are actively seeking treatment for smoking cessation. Participants expected to a) complete the two pre-treatment scan visits; 2) set a quit date; 3) attempt to quit for at least 24 hours; 4) have their quit status established (i.e., relapsed vs abstinent) at 1, 6 and 12 months following their quit date.
Main Study - Non-Treatment
Healthy male and female adults who have a history of 1 or more years of consistently smoking cigarettes with a urine cotinine level corresponding to smoker status for the specific test being used, typically corresponding to a urine cotinine above about 200 ng/ml, but who are not currently seeking treatment for smoking cessation. Non-treatment seeking smokers will not set a quit date or make a quit attempt, will not complete a treatment program as part of this study and will not be followed up after they complete the two pre-treatment visits.
Main Study - Motivational Interviewing
Current smokers who meet criteria for participation but who are not currently ready to enter treatment for smoking cessation. These subjects will receive motivational interviewing to prepare them for a tobacco cigarette quit attempt.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 hours nicotine abstinent (plus 1-2 hours after patch)

Population: Note that the treatment part of the main arm did not take place. As a consequence, all procedures performed were identical for both 'main arm - treatment' and 'main arm - non-treatment'. As these groups are thus identical, they are combined herein.

Glutamate measured in the dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex (dACC) measured as a ratio to Creatine and Phosphocreatine. Cigarette smokers were 12 hour (overnight) abstinent, and had either a nicotine patch or a placebo patch placed 1-2 hours before scanning.

Behavioral Performance on N-Back Working Memory Task. Task consisted of 0-back, 1-back and 3-back. In this task, participants respond with a button when the current stimulus is the same as the previous one (1-back), the one 3 stimuli earlier (3-back) or the letter 'D' (0-back) depending upon task condition. Table values are accuracy as a percentage (i.e total times they reponded correctly / total trials). This table is during 2mA Anodal tDCS at the left Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), 2mA Cathodal tDCS at left dlPFC, or sham stimulation (i.e. placebo).

Behavioral Performance on Parametric Flanker Task. Task consisted of 3 levels of difficulty: congruent trials (where distractors are the same as the target; e.g. HHHHHHH), incongruent2 trials (where the 2 furthest distractors on each side were incongruent with the target; e.g. HHSSSHH) and incongruent3 trials (where all distractors are incongruent with the target; e.g. HHHSHHH). Table values are accuracy as a percentage (i.e total times they reponded correctly / total trials). This table is during 2mA Anodal tDCS at the left Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), 2mA Cathodal tDCS at left dlPFC, or sham stimulation (i.e. placebo).

Table values are reaction time speeds. This table is during 2mA Anodal tDCS at the left Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), 2mA Cathodal tDCS at left dlPFC, or sham stimulation (i.e. placebo).

Behavioral Performance on the Matching Task. Task consisted of 2 conditions: match faces, where 2 faces appeared at the top of the screen and one at the bottom (target). Participants needed to press a button corresponding to the top row face that matched the target; the control condition was identical, except instead of faces the images consisted of simple shapes (e.g. ovals). Table values are accuracy as a percentage (i.e total times they reponded correctly / total trials).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 hours nicotine abstinent (plus 1-2 hours after patch)

Population: Note that the treatment part of the main arm did not take place. As a consequence, all procedures performed were identical for both 'main arm - treatment' and 'main arm - non-treatment'. As these groups are thus identical, they are combined herein.

Nicotine withdrawal as measured from the total score on the Wisconsin Smoking Withdrawal Scale (WSWS). The WSWS is a 28-item questionnaire ranging from 0 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The total score ranges from 0 to 112, with higher scores indicating more withdrawal symptoms. Cigarette smokers were 12 hour (overnight) abstinent and had either a nicotine patch or a placebo patch placed 1-2 hours before scanning.

Nicotine craving as measured from the total score on the Tobacco Craving Questionnaire-Short Form (TCQ-SF). The TCQ-SF is a 12-item questionnaire designed to measure craving for cigarettes. Each question is answered on a 7-point scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree). Total scores range from 12 to 84, with higher scores indicating more craving. Cigarette smokers were 12 hour (overnight) abstinent and had either a nicotine patch or a placebo patch placed 1-2 hours before scanning.

Positive and Negative mood from the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). The PANAS consists of 20 words related to emotions that participants indicate to what extent they felt this way in the last week. Words are rated from 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely). The PANAS is broken into a Positive and Negative subscale, each consisting of 10 questions and thus ranging from 10 to 50. Higher numbers are indicative of higher levels of positive affect and higher levels of negative affect respectively. Cigarette smokers were 12 hour (overnight) abstinent, and had either a nicotine patch or a placebo patch placed 1-2 hours before scanning.

Main Study - Treatment
n=14 participants at risk
Healthy male and female adults who have a history of 1 or more of consistently years smoking cigarettes with a urine cotinine level corresponding to smoker status for the specific test being used, typically corresponding to a urine cotinine above about 200 ng/ml, and are actively seeking treatment for smoking cessation. Participants expected to a) complete the two pre-treatment scan visits; 2) set a quit date; 3) attempt to quit for at least 24 hours; 4) have their quit status established (i.e., relapsed vs abstinent) at 1, 6 and 12 months following their quit date.
Main Study - Non-Treatment
n=28 participants at risk
Healthy male and female adults who have a history of 1 or more years of consistently smoking cigarettes with a urine cotinine level corresponding to smoker status for the specific test being used, typically corresponding to a urine cotinine above about 200 ng/ml, but who are not currently seeking treatment for smoking cessation. Non-treatment seeking smokers will not set a quit date or make a quit attempt, will not complete a treatment program as part of this study and will not be followed up after they complete the two pre-treatment visits.
Main Study - Motivational Interviewing Arm
n=2 participants at risk
Current smokers who meet criteria for participation but who are not currently ready to enter treatment for smoking cessation. These subjects will receive motivational interviewing to prepare them for a tobacco cigarette quit attempt.
