In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This research focuses on behavioral sensitization (BS) a specific behavioural disturbance in crack-cocaine addiction. The primary objective is to observe whether BS can be demonstrated in an ecological setting in crack dependent users by continuous actimetry for 3 weeks. It is planned to include 20 persons with a current crack-cocaine addiction with a preferential use of rapid administration route (intravenous or smoke), in a care institution: Fernand Widal Hospital. In the proposed research, the investigators will assess the movements of crack-cocaine dependent users in relation to consumption. They will have to wear continuously for 3 weeks an actimeter. They will also have 3 blood tests trying to identify biomarkers of BS.
