    Exp Clin Psychopharmacol 6:217-24. 1998
    ..These results demonstrate a strong association between craving increases and naturally occurring cocaine use but do not allow a determination of whether craving caused cocaine use or cocaine use caused craving...
  2. ncbi Comparing levels of cocaine cue reactivity in male and female outpatients
    S J Robbins
    Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA
    Drug Alcohol Depend 53:223-30. 1999
    ..Levels of reactivity in females were comparable to the results of previous studies with all male samples. These results support the use of a constant set of cues in future treatment studies employing gender-balanced patient samples...
  3. ncbi Mood state and recent cocaine use are not associated with levels of cocaine cue reactivity
    S J Robbins
    Treatment Research Center, University of Pennsylvania, 3900 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA
    Drug Alcohol Depend 59:33-42. 2000
    ..However, negative mood states at the start of a session were associated with higher levels of self-reported craving, high, and withdrawal both before and after cue exposure...
  4. ncbi Laboratory exposure to cocaine cues does not increase cocaine use by outpatient subjects
    R N Ehrman
    Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 19104, USA
    J Subst Abuse Treat 15:431-5. 1998
    ..These results suggest that with proper clinical protections, cue exposure can be used as a treatment outcome measure and a behavioral intervention in outpatient settings without increasing the risk of drug use...
  5. ncbi A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of ritanserin pharmacotherapy for cocaine dependence
    J W Cornish
    Treatment Research Center, University of Pennsylvania, 3900 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 6178, USA
    Drug Alcohol Depend 61:183-9. 2001
    ..These results fail to support the use of ritanserin as a complement to outpatient psychosocial therapy for cocaine dependence...

    R N Ehrman
    Treatment Research Center, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 19104, USA
    Exp Clin Psychopharmacol 5:150-6. 1997

    Drug Alcohol Depend 62:1-7. 2001
    ..Thus, a single pretreatment urine test represents a powerful predictor of subsequent cocaine use. The results suggest that future randomized trials stratify group assignment based on the results of a baseline urine test...
