RENTS Trial Summary
This trial will test if a VR intervention can reduce stimulant use and increase abstinence, with potential increases in future self-identification, future time perspective, and delayed rewards.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have been abstinent from stimulants for at least 14 days but no more than 6 months, are committed to recovery, and can understand English. They must be outpatients possibly taking psychotropic drugs for substance use disorder-related issues and sober from drugs/alcohol for at least 24 hours before study visits.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing a virtual reality intervention to see if it helps people with stimulant use disorders by reducing their drug use days, increasing abstinence periods, boosting future self-identification, enhancing the ability to wait for rewards, and improving perspective on the future.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves virtual reality technology rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects may include discomfort like dizziness or nausea related to VR usage but are generally expected to be minimal.
