Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have independently shown benefits for treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). Recent work suggests tDCS may enhance mindfulness. The combination of MBRP provide synergistic target both behavioral neurobiological dysfunctions in AUD. goal this double-blind sham-controlled randomized trial was to examine the efficacy a rolling group treatment combined with among individuals interested reducing their...
Recent research indicates some individuals who engage in heavy drinking following treatment for alcohol use disorder fare as well those abstain with respect to psychosocial functioning, employment, life satisfaction, and mental health. The current study evaluated whether these findings replicated an independent sample examined associations between recovery profiles functioning up 6 years later.
Background The Addictions Neuroclinical Assessment (ANA), a framework for measuring heterogeneity in alcohol use disorder (AUD), focuses on 3 domains that reflect neurobiological dysfunction addiction and correspond to the cycles of addiction: executive function, incentive salience, negative emotionality. Kwako colleagues (Am J Psychiatry 176:744, 2019) validated 3‐factor model ANA with neuropsychological self‐report indicators among treatment‐seekers non–treatment‐seekers without AUD....
Four decades ago, the "controlled drinking" controversy roiled alcohol field. Data have subsequently accumulated indicating that nonabstinent use disorder (AUD) recovery is achievable, but questions remain whether it sustainable long-term. This study examined at 3 years after AUD treatment associated with better functioning 10 treatment.
Heightened craving among individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) has been attributed to a hypersensitivity cues in attentional brain networks. Active mindfulness training shown help improve control. Here, we examined cue-related AUD who received rolling group mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) combination transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), over right inferior frontal gyrus.Participants (n = 68) viewed series of emotionally negative, neutral and alcohol-related...
The addiction cycle has been proposed as a framework for understanding the progression of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in terms psychological and biological domains, including reward drinking/incentive salience, relief drinking/negative emotionality, loss control/executive functioning impairment. To have utility clinical practice, self-report measures these domains that are applicable across sociodemographic groups associated with outcomes needed. This study sought to validate from test...
While return to sport (RTS) in young athletes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been well studied, little is known regarding their rate of RTS multiligament knee injury (MLKI).To assess the level and factors associated with MLKI athletes.Case series; Level evidence, 4.We retrospectively identified 116 patients aged ≤23 years who had sustained an ≥2 ligaments undergone operative or repair ≥1 ligament. Our primary outcome was self-reported at preinjury higher. We...
Negative emotionality is a key domain in frameworks measuring heterogeneity alcohol use disorder (AUD), such as the Addictions Neuroclinical Assessment (ANA). Recent research has examined construct validity of ANA negative domain, but not whether this demonstrates predictive for drinking outcomes. In study, we association between self-reported at baseline and intensity 1 year following AUD treatment initiation. We also assessed coping motives 6 months initiation changes mediated...
The frontal cortex undergoes substantial structural and functional changes during adolescence significant developmental also occur in the hippocampus. Both of these regions are notably vulnerable to alcohol other substance use, which is typically initiated adolescence. Identifying measures brain function adolescence, particularly before initiation drug or critical understanding how such behaviors may affect development, especially regions. While there a literature on adolescent working...
The Alcohol Addiction Research Domain Criteria (AARDoC) is an organizational framework for assessing heterogeneity in addictive disorders organized across the addiction cycle domains of incentive salience, negative emotionality, and executive functioning may have benefits precision medicine. Recent work found pretreatment self-report items mapped onto predicted 1- 3-year alcohol use disorder treatment outcomes. Given potential utility predicting relevant outcomes, this study sought to...
Background/Objectives There is a great unmet need for accessible adjunctive interventions to promote long-term recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). This study aimed iteratively develop and test the initial feasibility acceptability of Mindful Journey, novel digital mindfulness-based intervention promoting among individuals with SUD.
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals, who have a identity that differs from their sex assigned at birth, are increased risk of mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, self-injurious behavior, suicidality, relative to cisgender peers.To examine outcomes among TGD vs adolescents in residential treatment.This cohort study's longitudinal design was used compare groups treatment entry discharge, 1-month postdischarge follow-up. The setting an adolescent acute program...
