Effect of Behavioral Training on Physiological Responses to Smoking Cues, Affect and Cortisol
NCT01362101 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study is ancillary. Participants will be recruited as part of a separate clinical trial on effects of two intensive behavioral training programs that evaluates feasibility and efficacy of a behavioral treatment that includes mindfulness techniques (MT) in comparison to traditional behavioral therapy (CBT) for smoking cessation. The investigators propose to compare the effect of MT to that of traditional CBT on a physiological marker of stress, salivary cortisol concentration, and physiological responses to smoking cues in tobacco smokers. The investigators will use electrophysiological reactivity to smoking cues in the form of audio recordings of personalized scripts describing the scenarios associated with the strongest urges to smoke that will provide a physiological validation to a behavioral intervention. The investigators will also explore correlations between these biological markers and self report of stress, craving and negative affect to supplement self report and behavioral outcome measures with biological and physiological markers to represent improvement attributed to the intervention.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01362101
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01362101 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 56 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is A. Eden Evins, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Smokers appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Mindfulness behavioral intervention (MT),cognitive behavioral intervention (CBT) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01362101 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
