NIDA CTN Protocol 0037: Stimulant Reduction Intervention Using Dosed Exercise (STRIDE)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Vigorous Intensity High Dose Exercise and Health Education Intervention for Stimulant Abuse and Dependence. Completed, enrolled 302 participants across 9 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate if health interventions (intensive exercise or health education) can be used to help improve substance abuse treatment. The primary objective of this protocol is to compare percent days of abstinence between Vigorous Intensity High Dose exercise (VIHD) and Health Education Intervention (HEI) groups based on stimulant (i.e., cocaine, methamphetamine, amphetamine, or other stimulant, excluding caffeine and nicotine) use during a 12-week acute phase.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants randomized to the exercise condition will begin with supervised exercise sessions 3 times per week during the 12-week acute phase of the study. Supervised sessions will be conducted as one-on-one (i.e., individual) sessions. Vigorous intensity high dose exercise will be prescribed at a dose of 12 kcal/kg/week (KKW), with intensity ranging from 70-85% maximal heart rate.
Participants randomized to the health education condition will also begin with visits 3 times per week during the 12-week acute phase. The health education sessions will be conducted as one-on-one (i.e., individual) sessions. Health education sessions will consist of information on health-related topics distributed via methods such as didactics, audio and video materials, and written materials.
