COGNITIVE NEUROPHYSIOLOGIC SIGNS OF COCAINE ABSTINENCE

据报道，患者存在认知障碍和睡眠障碍。 戒掉可卡因。这些疾病的性质还有待于 在临床实验室研究中记录在案。本研究评估了 临床病房受试者认知信息加工的研究 戒断可卡因并完成一系列任务(听觉罕见事件 监控、两个连续性能任务、四个Sternburg内存 测试)。睡眠质量和持续时间由主观监控 问卷调查。包括对照组在内的14名受试者在 这项研究超过了6到8周的戒断期。刺激评估和 在可卡因成瘾者中观察到记忆障碍。 澄清认知缺陷和失眠的性质 将导致对可卡因戒断采取更有效的治疗策略。

Cognitive impairments and sleep disruption have been reported in patients withdrawing from cocaine. The nature of these disorders have yet to be documented in clinical laboratory studies. The present study evaluates cognitive information processing in subjects on a clinical ward withdrawing from cocaine with a battery of tasks (auditory rare event monitoring, two continuous performance tasks, four Sternburg memory tests). Sleep quality and duration is monitored by a subjective questionnaire. Fourteen subjects including controls have been tested in this study over a 6 to 8 week withdrawal period. Stimulus evaluation and memory deficits were observed in the cocaine addicts. Clarification of the nature of the cognitive deficits and of sleep loss will lead to more effective treatment strategies for cocaine withdrawal.
