Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Pathological gambling (PG) has become a major health concern, particularly as gambling opportunities have proliferated. Despite its importance, there are few treatment options with proven efficacy. The goal of this project is to conduct a randomized, double-blind comparison of bupropion-SR versus placebo in the treatment of PG. Bupropion will be used because of its reported efficacy in treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and clinical similarities between PG and ADHD. This study will be one of the first of its kind, and has the potential to provide pilot data supporting the efficacy of a novel treatment for PG.
