Validation of Kaihani Score for Gambling Addiction

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Gambling Addiction

In brief

The Kaihani Score is a blood based means of assessing molecules believed to be associated with gambling addiction. The current clinical trial will assess the Kaihani Score in 3 groups: Group 1: 10 patients with no personal or family problems with gambling as assessed by the PG-YBOCS (obsessions-compulsions scale Yale-Brown (Y-BOCS), adapted for pathological gambling) (PG-YBOCS). Group 2: 10 patients with moderate gambling addiction as assessed by the PG-YBOCS (obsessions-compulsions scale Yale-Brown (Y-BOCS), adapted for pathological gambling) (PG-YBOCS). Group 3: 10 patients with severe gambling addiction as assessed by the PG-YBOCS (obsessions-compulsions scale Yale-Brown (Y-BOCS), adapted for pathological gambling) (PG-YBOCS). The goal of the study is to confirm preliminary efficacy of the Kaihani Score as a blood based means of assessing gambling propensity.
