haloperidol and Alcohol Drinking

haloperidol has been researched along with Alcohol Drinking in 31 studies

Haloperidol: A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279)
haloperidol : A compound composed of a central piperidine structure with hydroxy and p-chlorophenyl substituents at position 4 and an N-linked p-fluorobutyrophenone moiety.

Alcohol Drinking: Behaviors associated with the ingesting of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, including social drinking.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Recent data indicate that the atypical antipsychotic clozapine, but not the typical antipsychotic haloperidol, decreases alcohol drinking both in patients with schizophrenia and also in the Syrian golden hamster, an animal model of moderate alcohol drinking."7.79The comparative effects of clozapine versus haloperidol on initiation and maintenance of alcohol drinking in male alcohol-preferring P rat. ( Ahmed, J; Chau, DT; Dawson, R; Green, AI; Khokhar, JY; Xie, H, 2013)
"We recreated a clozapine-like drug to reduce alcohol drinking in the Syrian golden hamster by combining low dose haloperidol with a norepinephrine α-2 receptor antagonist, idazoxan, and a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, desipramine."3.81Clozapine reconstructed: Haloperidol's ability to reduce alcohol intake in the Syrian golden hamster can be enhanced through noradrenergic modulation by desipramine and idazoxan.

Trial Outcomes

Betting Behaviour in Laboratory-based Slot Machine Game

Risk taking was operationally defined as credits wagered per spin (mean computed for total spins) (NCT02203786)
Timeframe: 1x per test session (total of 4 test sessions) for duration of the study: 4 weeks (1 session/week)

Cognitive Task Performance

Response time to words (gambling, alcohol, positive affect, negative affect) as a percentage of neutral categorized words (parts of a building). This provides an index of the relative salience of stimuli from these four categories against a baseline of reaction to words with no clinical relevance or emotional valence. Smaller scores indicate faster relative response time to the test stimuli vs. neutral stimuli (i.e., greater salience) (NCT02203786)
Timeframe: At key points during testing: immediately after the slot machine, at expected peak subjective-behavioral effects for amphetamine (90-minutes post-capsule administration)

Subjective Reinforcement Self-report Scales

Self-reported Confidence to Refrain from Gambling (0 - 10) was assessed at test session baseline, before the slot machine and after the slot machine (Phase 1); and before amphetamine and at peak amphetamine (Phase 2). The maximum score (10) denotes complete confidence to refrain from gambling (i.e., NO urge or compulsion to gamble); the minimum score (0) denotes complete lack of confidence to refrain from gambling (i.e., overwhelming urge to gamble). Scores between 10 and 0 denote intermediate confidence to refrain from gambling with LOWER scores denoting less confidence to refrain from gambling -- i.e., GREATER urge or compulsive motivation to gamble. Scores shown are based on single item visual analogue ratings 0-10 from each participant at the specified time point. The mean (SD) of these single item ratings is presented for each sub-group. (NCT02203786)
Timeframe: At key points in testing: immediately after the slot machine game, and at expected peak subjective-behavioral effects for amphetamine (90-minutes post-capsule administration).
