Trial Outcomes & Findings for Medicinal Nicotine for Preventing Cue Induced Craving (NCT NCT02347605)

NCT ID: NCT02347605

Last Updated: 2017-12-18

Results Overview

Craving as assessed via the craving question on the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale. The score range is from 0 (no craving) to 4 (severe craving). The outcome measure is the change in craving score from before cue exposure to craving score after cue exposure.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: approximately 15 minutes

Withdrawal as assessed via the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale. The score range is from 0 to 28 with higher scores indicating more severe withdrawal symptoms. The outcome measure is the change in withdrawal score from before cue exposure to the withdrawal score after cue exposure.
