Crack cocaine use and behavioral sensitization study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body and mind might get more sensitive to crack-cocaine over time (behavioral sensitization) and what you expect from using it. Your participation helps us better understand addiction patterns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You currently have a severe crack-cocaine addiction (meeting at least 6 DSM-5 criteria) and you mainly use it by injecting or smoking it.
- You identify as either male or female (the study aims to enroll 10 of each).
- You can speak French or English well enough to participate.
- You weigh more than 40 kg (about 88 pounds) and can commit to a 3-week study follow-up.
- If you are a woman of childbearing age, you must use effective birth control and have a negative pregnancy test.

This study looks at how cravings for cocaine change over time in people who have recently stopped using. Researchers will measure brain activity to understand this process better.
This early-phase study uses brain imaging to understand how cocaine use disorder affects brain function. It may help researchers learn more about brain pathways involved in craving and treatment targets.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS can help reduce cocaine use. You would receive several sessions of mild electrical current applied to your scalp, which may help control cravings and improve your ability to stay abstinent.
This early-phase study uses a PET brain scan (a special imaging test) to see how the brain responds in people with cocaine use disorder. It aims to better understand brain activity and whether this scan approach could help research or future treatments.
This trial tests an “innovative cognitive and behavioral” therapy approach to help people stop cocaine use or stay stopped. It is done while you’re in a residential hospital program, aiming to improve coping and reduce relapse.
This study tests whether brain stimulation can help people with cocaine use disorder. It is a research study that aims to identify brain targets for treatment with a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
