general informationNo interventionuse cross-sectional study to collect 1000 ATS abuse or dependence patients' general information and 5 ml blood,get their blood plasma and DNA sample in order to explore the possible addict mechanism.
ATS diagnosis and evaluation for abusersNo interventionUse cohort study design to establish ATS abuse induced craving experiment.Do the initial and follow-up assessment from start smoking to stop smoking after 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 26 weeks, 52 weeks and 26 weeks of returning to the community . Thus compare with normal group to explore the possible psychological abuse mechanism.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the prevalence of ATS abuse or dependence characteristics and pathogenesis

    Plasma and DNA samples were collected to carry out the biochemical genetics and immunology research of ATS abuse or dependence , and to explore the prevalence of ATS abuse or dependence characteristics and pathogenesis.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. the physiological psychology and cognitive impairment characteristic of ATS addicts,trends and ATS conducted cases.

    Use repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status(RBANS),Cog-state cognitive function assessment test,event-related potentials(ERPs),functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) in biology ( molecular genetics, blood biochemistry, electrophysiology , imaging ) , psychology, mental health and other aspects of the system to assess the physiological psychology and cognitive impairment characteristic of ATS addicts , trends and ATS conducted cases.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing psychological rehabilitation training, physical and neurological rehabilitation training and rTMS 10HZ high frequency stimulation in people with Amphetamine Addiction, run by Shanghai Mental Health Center at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Nov 2015.
