Abstract
Objectives: Impulsivity is thought to be a core feature of gambling disorder, yet little is known as to whether trait impulsivity predicts treatment response.
Methods: Data were pooled from 2 previous randomized controlled pharmacological trials using naltrexone and N-acetyl cysteine.
Results: Trait impulsivity statistically explained variation in medication treatment response (P = 0.0260, R2 = 0.26). Higher baseline motor impulsiveness was associated with greater treatment response (P = 0.009).
Conclusions: Measures of impulsivity may thus be important to include in future large-scale datasets, in trial settings but also routine clinical gambling clinic practice, toward building predictive algorithms that may ultimately help to inform optimal treatment choices and improve outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
