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.

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.
Device: 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
Device: Emotional pictures stimulation system
Emotional pictures stimulation system is component of neutral and drug-related images.
Procedure: Deep brain stimulation
Deep brain stimulation of bilateral NAc/ALIC
Procedure: adjacent contact stimulation
The electrode of deep brain stimulation has four contacts.We stimulate one contact,and record the local field potential of other contacts.
Procedure: microelectrode
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.
Device: Emotional pictures stimulation system
Emotional pictures stimulation system is component of neutral and drug-related images.
