Study Overview

Brief Summary

Nucleus accumbens plays important roles in the process of opiate addiction and initial of relapse after detoxification.According to the single-centered preliminary open-labeled prospective trial results, the investigators hypothesize that bilateral stimulation of the NAc will effectively reduce the relapse of the opiate dependence.

  • History of opiates abuse no less than 3 years
  • Failure of at least three addiction treatments ( in hospital or compulsive rehabilitation), among which failure of methadone maintenance treatment must be met
  • completion of detoxification ( Negative urine test for morphine, methamphetamine, ketamine and buprenorphine)
  • Free patient's decision/informed Consent (existing comprehensive ability in meaning, methodology and execution of the study and ability of acceptance, known the benefit and risk of the treatment)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Clinical relevant psychiatric comorbidity (schizophrenic psychoses, bipolar affective diseases, severe personality disorder)
  • Contraindications of a MRI-examination, e.g. implanted cardiac pacemaker/heart defibrillator
  • Abuse of other type of drugs
  • severe cognitive impairments
  • Enrollment in other clinical trials
  • Stereotactic respectively neurosurgical intervention in the past
  • Contraindications of a stereotactic operation, e.g. increased bleeding-disposition, cerebrovascular diseases (e.g. arteriovenous malfunction, aneurysms, systemic vascular diseases)
  • Serious and instable organic diseases (e.g. instable coronal heart disease)
  • tested positively for HIV
  • pregnancy and/or lactation
  • Severe disorders for coagulation and liver function
  • Epilepsy or other severe brain trauma or neurological impairments

Arms & Interventions

Postoperative immediate Deep brain stimulation

Experimental

The addicts undergone the deep brain stimulation while the stimulation (Suzhou Sceneray® DBS System) was turned on 1-2 weeks postoperatively.

Intervention: Suzhou Sceneray® DBS System (Device)

Postoperative delayed Deep brain stimulation

Sham Comparator

The addicts undergone the deep brain stimulation while the stimulation (Suzhou Sceneray® DBS System) was off until 25 months postoperatively, during which the following up was kept, then the the stimulation was turned on 25 months postoperatively.

Intervention: Suzhou Sceneray® DBS System (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The abstinent rate at 25 weeks after DBS stimulation on (Urine Tests)

Time Frame: At 25 weeks after DBS stimulation on

If the participants or their families report no less than 2 times of the drug use in each of two consecutive weeks, or the consecutive 2 times of urine tests showed positive, or lost of follow-up, the case was defined as relapse

Secondary Outcomes

  • The total days of abstinence for participants(Baseline (preoperative), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • The longest duration for sustained abstinence for participants(Baseline (preoperative), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • The rate of positive urine test results(Baseline (preoperative), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD-17)(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Scaling for Opiate withdrawal symptoms(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Visual analog scale (VAS) craving score for opioid drugs(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • The evaluation on MATRICS-test(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA)(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Fagerstrom Test Nicotine Dependence assessment (FTND)(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Body weight for participants(Baseline (preoperative), 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS)(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
  • Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL)(Baseline (preoperative), 1week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 25 week after DBS stimulation on)
