Qi Gong as a Method of Craving Reduction in Severe Addict Patients

NCT03589118 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 186

Last updated 2019-07-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Craving arises in response to an affective tone that is associated with perceptual representations of a sensory object, rather than directly in response to the object.

The investigators presume that qi gong functions to decouple pleasant and unpleasant experience from habitual reactions by removing the affective bias that fuels such emotional reactivity. Qi gong training may specifically target the associated learning process with an emphasis on the critical link between affect and craving in an addictive loop.
