About this study

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.

Read the 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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Emotional pictures stimulation systemDevice

    Emotional pictures stimulation system is component of neutral and drug-related images.

  • Deep brain stimulationProcedure or surgery

    Deep brain stimulation of bilateral NAc/ALIC

  • adjacent contact stimulationProcedure or surgery

    The electrode of deep brain stimulation has four contacts.We stimulate one contact,and record the local field potential of other contacts.

  • microelectrodeProcedure or surgery

    We put the microelectrodes into bilateral nucleus accumbens and anterior limb of the internal capsule,to record the waveform of bilateral NAc/ALIC.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Event related potentials(ERPs)

    Event related potentials include late positive potential(LPP),P300,mismatch negativity(MMN) and N400.Recording the event related potential when people receive the stimulus of emotional pictures stimulation system.

    Measured: Day 3

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. local field potential(LFP)

    Recording the LFP of DBS group without any stimulation and stimulate one contact in surgery and 3 days after surgery.

    Measured: in surgery,3 days after surgery

  2. the 13-item obsessive compulsive drug use scale(OCDUS)

    Measured: day 3

  3. Opiate Addiction Severity Inventory(OASI)

    Measured: day 3

  4. participants' craving for opioid drugs (VAS)

    The 10-point visual analog scale(VAS)will be utilized at day 3.

    Measured: day 3

  5. The Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90)

    The Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90) is used to evaluate general status.

    Measured: day 3

  6. Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)

    Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) is used to evaluate depression symptom.

    Measured: day 3

  7. Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale(Y-BOCS)

    Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale(Y-BOCS) is used to evaluate obsessive compulsive symptom.

    Measured: day 3

  8. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ)

    Measured: day 3

  9. The Wechsler Memory Scale(WMS)

    Measured: day 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Emotional pictures stimulation system, Deep brain stimulation and adjacent contact stimulation in people with Substance-Related Disorders, run by Tang-Du Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guo-dong Gao, M.D. (+86 29 84777435, gguodong@fmmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event related potentials(ERPs) (time frame: Day 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2016.
