Conditions

Summary

This cross-sectional observational case-control study aimed to examined serum levels of leucine-rich repeat and fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (LRFN5) and olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4) levels in methamphetamine use disorder (MUD), methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorder (MP), and healthy control (HC) groups. The study also aimed to assessed systemic inflammation using the Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI) and examined associations between biomarkers and clinical symptom severity, including Insight Assessment Scale (IAS) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is measuring levels of two brain proteins — LRFN5 and OLFM4 — in three groups: people with methamphetamine use disorder, people who have developed methamphetamine-induced psychosis (a condition where meth use causes hallucinations and delusions similar to schizophrenia), and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand the biological changes involved in meth-related brain disorders. **You may be eligible if:** - You are between 18 and 65 years old - You are in one of these groups: diagnosed with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD), diagnosed with methamphetamine-induced psychosis (MP), OR a healthy volunteer with no psychiatric diagnosis - You have not taken any medication for at least one month prior to the study **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or serious cardiac disease - You have a severe neurological condition, an immune or systemic illness, or a primary psychiatric disorder other than the meth-related condition being studied - You have alcohol use disorder Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
