Trial Outcomes & Findings for Does Doxazosin Attenuate Stress-induced Smoking and Improve Clinical Outcomes? (NCT NCT01730846)

NCT ID: NCT01730846

Last Updated: 2018-02-20

Results Overview

Latency to start smoking in the stress and neutral ad-lib smoking lab sessions. Subjects had the opportunity to delay smoking for 50 minutes (delay period). Once the subject decides to smoke, the 1 hour ad-lib smoking session begins. They can chose to smoke as little or as much as they wish.
