Use of Intranasal Oxytocin During Detoxification of Crack Cocaine

Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study of Intranasal Oxytocin During Detoxification of Crack Cocaine

Change from baseline withdrawal symptoms (hospital admission) at the end of detoxification treatment (21 days) assessed by Cocaine Selective Severity Assessment (CSSA, minimum and maximum scores: 0 - 112). After treatment, the oxytocin-treated group is expected to have significantly lower withdrawal scores (better outcome) than the other groups (30%).

Change from baseline anxiety symptoms (hospital admission) at the end of detoxification treatment (21 days) assessed by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Short Form scale (PROMIS, minimum and maximum raw scores: 8 - 40). After treatment, the oxytocin-treated group is expected to show lower anxiety scores (better outcome) compared to the other groups (30%).

Change from baseline depressive symptoms (hospital admission) at the end of detoxification treatment (21 days) assessed by the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self-Report scale (QIDS-SR, minimum and maximum scores: 0 - 27). After treatment, the oxytocin-treated group is expected to show lower depressive scores (better outcome) compared to the other groups (30%).

Dose change of neuroleptic medications used during hospitalization for agitation or irritability (expected 25% lower).

Rate of adherence of outpatient treatment six months after discharge (expected to be 20% higher) assessed by reviewing the medical records of each patient within the outpatient program. If patient would be enrolled in the outpatient program after six months from detoxification she will be considered adhered to the program (higher rates means better outcome).

On the eve of the eighth day of hospitalization, a person in charge of the research team performed a randomization of the participants exchanged in blocks, according to the methods of Schulz and collaborators (SCHULZ; GRIMES, 2002). The responsible person did not have contact with the participants. The blocks were made up of 12 participants each, and the ratio was maintained at 4: 4: 4, in order to reduce the chances of the groups getting mixed amounts. The members of the research team responsible for data collection, the technical team of the inpatient unit and the participants did not know to what condition each patient had been allocated.
These procedures guaranteed the randomization and double blinding of the study.

Individuals who are generally healthy and have a body mass index less than 25 kg/m^2.

Individuals electing to undergo bariatric surgery (generally with a body mass index between 35 and 40 kg/m^2 with an additional co-morbidity such as type 2 diabetes, or individuals with a body mass index greater than 40 kg/m^2) and who are willing to participate for 2 visits, one before and one after surgery. The intervention in this group is bariatric surgery.

Patients enrolled in this study were contacted via phone to assess smoking status. Smoking status was a self-report from each subject. Primary outcome measure is the smoking status of the enrollee at the time of follow-up contact. We calculated the percentage of participants who had stopped smoking at the 6 week follow-up period in each arm

Massage therapists with at least 5 years experience will perform the massages. On each of three consecutive days, participants (while fully clothed and in a seated position) will receive a 20-minute back, shoulder, neck and head massage. Subjects will be treated with conventional light pressure Swedish massage techniques which consisted of continuous systematic strokes including kneading and stretching to loosen and rehabilitate the soft tissues of the body and to provide general relaxation. The manual techniques include: effleurage , soothing petrissage , repetitive stroking, rocking , squeezing and mild joint mobilization. As is standard practice in massage therapy delivery, room lights will be dimmed and soft, soothing music played to enhance relaxation during therapy.

Therapeutic Massage

On each of three consecutive evenings, subjects in this group will participate in a 20 minute relaxation session. This session will be delivered in the same location and with the same lighting and music as with the therapeutic massage group. Each participant will be asked to choose a comfortable position in a chair and a massage therapist will sit quietly in the room approximately 4 feet behind the participant.
