Exploring the Utility of a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Cannabis Cue-Reactivity Paradigm in Treatment Seeking Adults with Cannabis Use Disorder.
Background: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies examining cue-reactivity in cannabis use disorder (CUD) have either had small sample sizes or involved non-treatment-seeking participants. As a secondary analysis, we administered an fMRI cue-reactivity task to CUD participants entering two separate clinical trials (varenicline or repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation-rTMS) to determine the task activation patterns for treatment-seeking participants with CUD. We aimed to determine the activation patterns for the total sample and determined behavioral correlates. We additionally compared studies to determine if patterns were consistent.
Methods: Treatment-seeking participants with moderate or severe CUD had behavioral craving measured at baseline via the short form of the Marijuana Craving Questionnaire (MCQ-SF) and completed a visual cannabis cue-reactivity task during fMRI (measuring the Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent-BOLD response) following 24-hours of cannabis-abstinence.
Results: Sixty-five participants were included (37-varenicline, 28-rTMS; 32% female; mean-age 30.4±9.9SD). When contrasting cannabis-images vs. matched-neutral-images, participants showed greater BOLD response in bilateral ventromedial-prefrontal, dorsolateral-prefrontal, anterior cingulate, and visual cortices, as well as the striatum. There was stronger task-based functional-connectivity (tbFC) between the medial prefrontal cortex and both the amygdala and the visual cortex. Craving negatively correlated with BOLD response in the left ventral striatum (R2=-0.32; p=0.01) in the full sample. There were no significant differences in either activation or tbFC between studies.
Discussion: Among two separate treatment-seeking groups with CUD, there was increased cannabis cue-reactivity and tbFC in regions related to executive function and reward processing. Cannabis-craving was negatively associated with cue-reactivity in the left ventral striatum.
