Not Applicable
Conditions
Substance-Related Disorders
Interventions
Device: Emotional pictures stimulation system
Procedure: Deep brain stimulation
Procedure: adjacent contact stimulation
Procedure: microelectrode
Registration Number
NCT02594306
Lead Sponsor
Tang-Du Hospital
Brief Summary

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.
