Marijuana Withdrawal Symptom Checklist

Submitted by aplank on
Abbreviation
MWSC
Description

The MWSC is a 10-item self-administered questionnaire developed by Budney et al. (1999). Each of the 10 items is a withdrawal symptom that is rated on a 4-point scale as follows: 0 = not at all; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe. The 10 withdrawal symptoms include: 1) craving, 2) irritability, 3) nervousness, 4) depression, 5) anger, 6) restlessness, 7) sleep problems, 8) decreased appetite, 9) strange dreams, and 10) headaches. Symptoms will be evaluated individually and by computing a total withdrawal discomfort score (WDS) that is the sum of the individual item scores.

Title
Accelerated Development of Additive Pharmacotherapy Treatment for Methamphetamine Use Disorder (ADAPT-2)
Short Description
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of extended-release naltrexone plus bupropion as a combination pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine use disorder. Participants will be randomly assigned to the active medication combination (AMC) group or matching placebo group and will receive medications over the course of 12 weeks. Follow-ups will occur in weeks 13 and 16.
Release Date
Oct 07, 2022
Description

There will be 400 adults with moderate or severe methamphetamine use disorder randomized into this multi-site study. Eligibility will be determined during a maximum 21 day screening period. After screening is completed and eligibility is confirmed, including successful administration of a naloxone challenge, participants will begin the 12 week medication phase of the trial. Participants will be randomized to either the 1) AMC arm and receive injections of extended release naltrexone (XR-NTX; as Vivitrol®) plus once-daily oral extended-release bupropion tablets (BUP-XL) or the 2) matching placebo (PLB) arm and receive injections of placebo (iPLB) plus once-daily oral placebo (oPLB) tablets. During the course of the study, participants may be switched to another arm, as determined by the a priori adaptive aspect of the study design. Participants appearing to respond well to their original treatment assignment will not be switched. Overall, approximately 50% of the participants will receive the AMC. Injections will be administered every three weeks, in weeks 1, 4, 7, and 10. Take-home oral study medication (BUP-XL or oPLB) will be dispensed weekly for dosing on non-clinic days. Participants will be asked to attend the clinic twice weekly for observed oral medication dosing, assessments, collection of urine samples, and once-weekly medical management. On non-clinic days, participants will participate in smartphone app-based medication adherence activities. Participants will be asked to complete assessments as indicated on the schedule of assessments. Following the 12 week medication phase, participants will complete a follow-up phase, including a medication taper and post-medication phase follow-up visits during weeks 13 and 16.
