About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of an Exercise Program in the Treatment of Cocaine Dependence

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if exercise added to usual treatment improves cocaine dependence treatment. The primary objective of this study is to investigate if exercise can facilitate cocaine craving reduction. The secondary aims are to evaluate if exercise can reduce negative mood states, improve quality of life and facilitate abstinence of cocaine.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as two-groups, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week exercise program added to usual treatment compared with a health education program in 20 cocaine dependent patients. These participants will be randomized to one of the following two groups: a) exercise group: supervised moderate-vigorous exercise in group based on strength and calisthenics exercises, b) control group: supervised health education in group. All participants must have DSM-IV diagnosis of cocaine dependence as the primary disorder and must be in treatment.
