Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) and the Complexities of the Substance-Addicted Brain: A Clinical Trial Journey

Dr. Marian Reven, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, CNE, RA affectionately known as Dr. Marnie, is a dedicated and passionate individual with a diverse set of interests and expertise. Her focus on researching the effects of aromatherapy using essential oils, particularly Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), on comfort, ease, and stress in adults undergoing treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) in Appalachia U.S. is intriguing. This type of research is essential in expanding our understanding of the potential benefits of aromatherapy in healthcare and community settings.
The establishment of the Aromatic Research Quality Appraisal Taskforce (ARQAT) under Dr. Marnie's leadership demonstrates her commitment to advancing the field of aromatic research. The creation of a Reporting Guideline for aromatic-focused aspects of clinical trials and studies is particularly valuable, as it can contribute to standardizing methodologies and reporting practices in the field.
Furthermore, Dr. Marnie's role as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Education at the school of nursing at West Virginia University, U.S., indicates her dedication to education and the development of future healthcare professionals.
