Can tracking rigid thoughts improve addiction treatment?
NCT ID NCT07590115
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes 35 people in residential treatment for substance use disorders to measure behavioral rigidity—the tendency to get stuck in inflexible thinking patterns. Participants complete weekly questionnaires and have their therapy sessions analyzed for language patterns. The goal is to see if these measures can predict how someone is doing now and in the following week, which could eventually help tailor addiction treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help personalize addiction treatment by identifying rigid thinking patterns that predict relapse or poor progress.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 35 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It measures thoughts and behaviors, not a treatment, so direct benefits are limited.
