Isradipine enhancement of virtual reality cue exposure therapy is effective for individuals with higher baseline cue-induced craving. [PDF]
Background: Evidence based treatments for smoking cessation have high relapse rates. Targeting cue-induced craving, a strong predictor of relapse, may be critical to promoting sustained abstinence.

The Impact of Accelerated Right Prefrontal High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Cue-Reactivity: An fMRI Study on Craving in Recently Detoxified Alcohol-Dependent Patients. [PDF]
In alcohol-dependent patients craving is a difficult-to-treat phenomenon. It has been suggested that high-frequency (HF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may have beneficial effects.

Cue reactivity is associated with duration and severity of alcohol dependence: an FMRI study. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: With the progression of substance dependence, drug cue-related brain activation is thought to shift from motivational towards habit pathways. However, a direct association between cue-induced brain activation and dependence duration has not

Identifying Specific Cues and Contexts Related to Smoking Craving for the Development of Effective Virtual Environments [PDF]
Craving is considered the main variable associated with relapse after smoking cessation. Cue Exposure Therapy (CET) consists of controlled and repeated exposure to drug-related cues with the aim of extinguishing craving responses.

Effects of irritability on craving before and after cue exposure in abstinent alcoholic inpatients: Experimental data on subjective response and heart rate [PDF]
Objective: Irritability is often linked with problem drinking. The aim of this study is to examine the possible influence of irritability on craving induced by a cue-exposure paradigm.

Cue‐induced craving in dependence upon prescription opioids and heroin [PDF]
Background and ObjectivesCues associated with heroin use (eg, needles, powder) elicit robust craving responses in individuals dependent upon heroin. Elevated cue‐induced craving may be a risk factor for relapse and can persist after periods of drug abstinence. Despite the growing prevalence of opioid dependence involving prescription opioids, published
