Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Novel Compound for Alcoholism Treatment: A Translational Strategy - Part II (NCT NCT02707055)

NCT ID: NCT02707055

Last Updated: 2022-03-16

Results Overview

Alcohol cue elicited craving was measured using the Alcohol Urges Questionnaire (AUQ). The AUQ is an 8-item self-administered instrument that assesses craving for alcohol among alcohol users in the current context (i.e., right now). The score ranges from 8 (lowest craving value) to 56 (highest craving value).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 96 minutes

Population: The analyses included those participants who completed the entire Cue Reactivity Procedure. 2 participants were not included in the final analysis - 1 for data quality issues and 1 for not completing the entire Cue Reactivity Procedure.

Alcohol cue elicited craving was measured using the Alcohol Urges Questionnaire (AUQ). The AUQ is an 8-item self-administered instrument that assesses craving for alcohol among alcohol users in the current context (i.e., right now). The score ranges from 8 (lowest craving value) to 56 (highest craving value).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 40 minutes

Population: The analyses included those participants who completed the entire Virtual Reality Procedure. 1 participant was not included in the final analysis due to data quality issues.

Food choice was assessed by calculating the total of number of calories for a meal selected in a virtual buffet environment. Calories were adjusted for the size of items in the virtual reality environment.
