Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) studies are well positioned to assess the impact of craving on cannabis use in real time and may better capture its time-varying nature. The goal of this explorat...
College students residing in a state with legal recreational cannabis use who used cannabis twice a week or more completed a baseline interview and signal-contingent EMA for 2 weeks using a smartphone...

The experience of craving may differ based on important participant characteristics. More research examining the fluctuating nature of craving and the role of cannabis potency on craving is warranted....
Sleep disturbance is widespread among individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and is thought to reduce the capacity for self-regulation. The present study examines how sleep disturbance is associa...
Participants with an AUD (N = 58) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality, the Obsessive-Compulsive Drinking Scale (OCDS) for tonic craving, and the Alcohol Urge Question...
PSQI global score was associated with tonic craving per the OCDS, over and above alcohol use and demographic measures. PSQI global score was not associated with cue-induced craving....
These findings suggest that sleep dysfunction plays a role in tonic alcohol craving and that the underlying mechanism may be the reduction of self-regulation. Treatments targeting sleep dysfunction in...
Craving is central in the definition of addictive disorders because of its diagnostic and prognostic value. Its measurement is essential in clinical practice. Previous reviews provided a better overvi...
The review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology. The PubMed, Embase, PsychInfo and Cochrane/Central databases were searched for p...
This review provides a synthesis of the psychometric properties of 36 original instruments and identified 93 variations of these instruments (e.g. translations). We were able to highlight five transdi...
This review mapped all craving assessment instruments from a transdiagnostic perspective, finding 36 original instruments and 93 variations. The evolution of instruments to measure craving mirrors the...
Studies point to positive outcomes in a diet with reduction of carbohydrates and that the associated practice of intermittent fasting (IF) might increase weight loss. Although dieting might be related...
Craving is one of the main criteria for the diagnosis of substance use disorder according to the DSM-5; however, it is not included in the main criteria for gambling disorder (GD). In the present syst...
PsycINFO/PsycARTICLES and PubMed/Medline were used....
(1) individuals of both genders who had a clinical diagnosis of GD in which the presence of gambling craving were studied by means of tasks or self-report tools; (2) we included three types of studies...
n = 63 studies were finally included in the systematic review. Some studies described an association between craving- and gambling-related factors, and craving was also described as a predictor of GD ...
There is a growing body of knowledge on the relevant role of craving in gambling behavior and GD. Further studies are needed to reach a consensus on the diagnostic criterion for GD....
Craving is a central construct in the study of motivation and human behavior and is also a clinical symptom of substance and non-substance-related addictive disorders. Thus, craving represents a targe...
The authors applied connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) to functional connectivity data in a large (N=274) transdiagnostic sample of individuals with and without substance use-related condition...
CPM successfully predicted craving, thereby identifying a transdiagnostic "craving network." Anatomical localization of model contribution suggested that the strongest predictors of craving were regio...
These data provide a transdiagnostic perspective to a key phenomenological feature of addictive disorders-craving-and identify a common "craving network" across individuals with and without substance ...
Craving plays an important role in behavioural addictions such as Gambling Disorder (GD). However, it has only been included as a diagnostic criterion for substance addiction. Moreover, research on cr...
For the current study, 1246 adolescent gamblers attending secondary school were recruited to complete a self-report questionnaire online. The psychometric properties of the GACS were examined: Confirm...
The factor analysis supported the three-factor structure, and good internal consistency was found for the GACS total scale and its three subscales. As regards validity, the GACS subscales resulted to ...
The findings of this study were based on self-report data and only criterion validity was analyzed....
The GACS is a valid and rapid self-report measure of gambling craving in adolescent gamblers. In terms of prevention, the multidimensionality of the GACS is important for interventions. Clinical sampl...
Esketamine was approved for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, and for treating depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder w...
A comprehensive review on the craving and addictive potential of ketamine and esketamine was carried out. In addition, a clinical case of a 34-year-old TRD woman treated with esketamine who experience...
Esketamine showed great efficacy and safety in treating TRD and MDD with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. Our clinical experience demonstrated the presence of an additive potential, which has been...
Craving for high-calorie foods predicts consumption of high-calorie foods thereby contributing to unhealthy eating habits and, potentially in the long term, to the development of overweight, obesity, ...
Imaginal retraining (IR) is a treatment derived from approach bias modification to reduce strong craving for high-calorie food. The push component (IR...
