Virtual reality cue exposure therapy for tobacco relapse prevention: a comparative study with standard intervention. [PDF]
Psychol Med, 2023 AbstractBackgroundSuccessful interventions have been developed for smoking cessation although the success of smoking relapse prevention protocols has been limited. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in particular has been hampered by a high relapse rate.

Cue exposure therapy reduces overeating of exposed and non-exposed foods in obese adolescents [PDF]
Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, 2018 This study tested whether two sessions of food cue exposure therapy reduced eating in the absence of hunger (EAH), specified for exposed and non-exposed food, in overweight and obese adolescents, and whether habituation of food cue reactivity and reduced CS-US expectancies predicted a decrease in EAH.41 overweight adolescents (aged 12-18 years) were ...

Neural Correlates of Food Cue Exposure Intervention for Obesity: A Case-Series Approach
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020 BackgroundPeople with overweight have stronger reactivity (e.g., subjective craving) to food cues than lean people, and this reactivity is positively associated with food intake.

Decline in cue-provoked craving during cue exposure therapy for smoking cessation. [PDF]
Nicotine Tob Res, 2014 Based on the principles of Pavlovian learning and extinction, cue exposure therapy (CET) involves repeated exposure to substance-associated cues to extinguish conditioned cravings and reduce the likelihood of relapse. The efficacy of CET is predicated on successful extinction, yet the process of extinction in CET trials has rarely been demonstrated ...

Attentional Bias, Alcohol Craving, and Anxiety Implications of the Virtual Reality Cue-Exposure Therapy in Severe Alcohol Use Disorder: A Case Report [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Aims: Attentional bias (AB), alcohol craving, and anxiety have important implications in the development and maintenance of alcohol use disorder (AUD). The current study aims to test the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality Cue-Exposure Therapy (VR-CET) to

Impact of DCS-facilitated cue exposure therapy on brain activation to cocaine cues in cocaine dependence [PDF]
Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2013 The development of addiction is marked by a pathological associative learning process that imbues incentive salience to stimuli associated with drug use. Recent efforts to treat addiction have targeted this learning process using cue exposure therapy augmented with d-cycloserine (DCS), a glutamatergic agent hypothesized to enhance extinction learning ...

Bringing Virtual Reality From Clinical Trials to Clinical Practice for the Treatment of Eating Disorders: An Example Using Virtual Reality Cue Exposure Therapy [PDF]
Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2020 Novel treatment options for eating disorders (EDs) are critically needed to enhance treatment outcomes and reduce the rates of treatment dropouts. On average, only 50% of individuals receiving evidence-based care remit, whereas 24% drop out before ...

Molecular mechanisms underlying sex and treatment-dependent differences in an animal model of cue-exposure therapy for cocaine relapse prevention [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceEnvironmental enrichment combined with the glycine transporter-1 inhibitor Org24598 (EE+ORG) during cocaine-cue extinction (EXT) inhibited reacquisition of 1.0 mg/kg cocaine self-administration in male but not female rats in a previous investigation.
