Study Summary

The goals of this placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial were to evaluate the differences in emotional reactivity (peak startle response to affective stimuli) during a cessation attempt among smokers treated with bupropion, varenicline, or placebo, and to determine if these differences were moderated by genotype.

Primary Outcome

Emotional reactivity measured by the peak eye blink electromyography (EMG) of the orbicularis oculi (ORB) muscle responses to acoustic startle probe delivered during the presentation of emotionally valent stimuli (pleasant, unpleasant, neutral, and smoking-related pictures). A single value was estimated by averaging within the specific time interval.
