About this study

Official title: Smoking Cessation, Cognitive Control and Reward Processing: An fMRI Pilot Study

The purpose of this research study is to examine changes in brain regions associated with cognitive control and reward processing during behavioral smoking cessation treatment.

Being tested
Cognitive behavioral therapy, Health education
Medical subject headings
Smoking Cessation

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cognitive behavioral therapyBehavioural

    Also called CBT

    Therapy focused on explaining the physiological and psychological effects of nicotine. Training is focused on adherence to smoking instructions, physiological and psychological effects of nicotine, reviewing reasons for quitting, and coping with smoking urges. Smokers will be asked to begin smoking on a set schedule leading up to their quit day.

  • Health educationBehavioural

    Therapy that provides health education on the importance of healthy eating. Participants will be instructed to smoke as usual.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CBT TreatmentExperimentalParticipants receive Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Participants will receive 4 one hour CBT treatments.
Receives: Behavioral: Cognitive behavioral therapy
Control GroupActive comparatorParticipants receive health education treatment. Participants will attend treatment sessions that match the CBT Treatment arm with respect to time and contact.
Receives: Behavioral: Health education
Control Group - ScansNo interventionParticipants in this new arm to the study will receive no intervention and will receive three scans.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in activation in reward processing regions of the brain

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in activation in cognitive control regions of the brain

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 4

  2. Change in connectivity between reward and cognitive control regions of the brain

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cognitive behavioral therapy and Health education in people with Smoking Cessation, run by University of Kansas Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 16 Apr 2019. 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 United States. 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. 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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in activation in reward processing regions of the brain (time frame: Change from Baseline to Week 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 16 Apr 2019.
