Brain Electrophysiological Study(EEG/ERP) on Opiate Addicts Treating by Bilateral NAc/ALIC Deep Brain Stimulation

February 17, 2016 updated by: Guodong Gao, Tang-Du Hospital
Drug addiction is compulsive and spontaneous drug-taking behavior which is characterized by non-medical usage, long and repeated exposure to addictive drugs and gradually increasing drug-taking dosage and frequency,and become a main threat against human being's public health, economic development and social safety.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Effective treatments for severe drug addiction are limited. China centers employing compulsory detoxification, reported a 3 year abstinence rate of only 15%. For the methadone maintenance therapy, relapse often occurs promptly after cessation of methadone. A Malaysian reports about taking naltrexone or buprenorphine treating,showed average relapsed time of 2 or 3 months,respectively.

Assessment for psychological craving degree of addiction patients is also a difficult thing.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Non operation
Recording the event related potential of drug addicts when they receive the stimulus of Emotional pictures stimulation system.
Emotional pictures stimulation system is component of neutral and drug-related images.
Experimental: Deep brain stimulation
Recording the event related potential after the deep brain stimulation operation.Recording the local field potential of drug addiction people when we conduct a test of adjacent contact stimulation in the deep brain stimulation operation. Recording the waveform of bilateral NAc/ALIC after puting the microelectrodes into bilateral nucleus accumbens and anterior limb of the internal capsule
Emotional pictures stimulation system is component of neutral and drug-related images.
Deep brain stimulation of bilateral NAc/ALIC
The electrode of deep brain stimulation has four contacts.We stimulate one contact,and record the local field potential of other contacts.
We put the microelectrodes into bilateral nucleus accumbens and anterior limb of the internal capsule,to record the waveform of bilateral NAc/ALIC.
Active Comparator: Standard Control
Recording the event related potential of normal people when they receive the stimulus of emotional pictures stimulation system.
Emotional pictures stimulation system is component of neutral and drug-related images.
