简要总结
This is a phase I, non-blinded, non-randomized, pilot trial for safety and efficacy of DBS for AUD. Patients who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be identified and recruited from the practices of Sunnybrook psychiatrists. Five (5) to ten (10) subjects will be enrolled and study duration for each patient will be of one (1) year. Our primary objective is to establish the safety of DBS in a patient population with treatment refractory AUD. In addition to demonstrating safety, our second primary objective will be to evaluate if DBS-targeted nucleus accumbens in alcoholism is efficacious in the treatment-refractory patients with AUD. This will be measured by various outcome measures that will include validated scales to assess addiction and craving behaviours.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Alcohol consumption measured with the alcohol timeline followback
时间窗: 6 months
The amount of alcohol consumption preoperatively will be compared with the amount of alcohol consumption postoperatively using the alcohol timeline followback method at 6 months (compared to the preoperative baseline). This will be administered by a psychometrist, and reported as average number of standard drinks consumed daily and weekly during the 6 month postoperative period. An increase from preoperative values is considered a worse outcome, and a decrease in number is an improvement.
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (safety and tolerability)
时间窗: 6 months
Our primary objective is to establish the safety of deep brain stimulation in a patient population with treatment refractory alcohol use disorder. This is an exploratory pilot study. safety will be reported in the form of adverse event collection, and reported for each patient recruited into the study. Infection, hemorrhage, seizure, sensorymotor disturbance, oculomotor disturbance, or worsening on any adjunctive measure scales used will be reported. These will all be reported on a case-by-case basis, and presented descriptively in the publication. (no specific scale will be used).
次要结局
- Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)(6 months)
- Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventory (BDI and BAI)(6 months. Both the BDI and BAI are scored out of 63, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. They will be administered by a psychometrist.)
- Alcohol Dependency Scale(6 months. This scale is scored out of 47, and will be administered by a psychometrist preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively. Higher scores are considered worse, so a decrease from baseline is an improvement.)
- Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ)(6 months)
- Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT)(6 months)
