Brief Summary

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

The study is a randomized, controlled trial comparing music therapy associated to NRT versus NRT alone to evaluate the value of music therapy in improving the management of craving among 120 student smokers (18 to 25 years old). This pilot multi-method study will combine the methodology of clinical trials with qualitative techniques used in social sciences to show the interest of a digital music therapy tool, adapted to a young audience.

Detailed Description

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

The participants will be recruited at the Clinical Investigation Center (CIC) of the University Hospital of Poitiers. At baseline visit, they will be randomly 1:1 assigned to receive either music therapy and NRT or NRT alone for 3 months.

During the 3 months after TQD (Target Quit Date), 3 visits will be performed by practitioners at the CIC. Practitioners will register smoking status of the participant, exhaled carbon monoxide concentration, body weight and all adverse events. Participants will answer questionnaires (FTCQ-12, HAD, MNWS, UPPS).
