Jonathan Chick,Kevin Gough,Wojciech Falkowski,Peter W. Kershaw,Brian D. Hore,Brij Mehta,Bruce Ritson,Richard Ropner,Denis Torley +8 more
TL;DR: Patients on disulfiram increased average total abstinent days by 100 and patients on vitamin C by 69, thus enhancing by one-third this measure of treatment outcome, according to the (blinded) independent assessor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Counselling problem drinkers in medical wards: a controlled study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that systematic screening for alcohol consumption and related problems should become a routine part of medical assessment and that advice on drinking habits is effective if given before irreversible physical or psychosocial problems have developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of naltrexone in the treatment of alcohol dependence or abuse
Jonathan Chick,Raymond F. Anton,Ken Checinski,Robert Croop,D. Colin Drummond,Roger Farmer,Dominic F. Labriola,Jane Marshall,Joanna Moncrieff,Marsha Y. Morgan,Tim J Peters,Bruce Ritson +11 more
TL;DR: Naltrexone is effective in treating alcohol dependence/abuse in conjunction with psychosocial therapy, in patients who comply with treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mean cell volume and gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase as markers of drinking in working men.
TL;DR: As screening tests they lack power, though false positives may be explained in party by inaccurate self-reports by both survey subjects and patients, and for clinical purposes the tests have a use in supplementing self-report and in following problem drinkers in outpatient treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
United Kingdom Multicentre Acamprosate Study (UKMAS): a 6-month prospective study of acamprosate versus placebo in preventing relapse after withdrawal from alcohol.
TL;DR: In comparison with other published trials of acamprosate, patients started study medication after a longer time following detoxification, had more often recommenced drinking before medication was started and had a higher drop-out rate, and this might have contributed to the lack of a treatment effect in this study.
