Rehabilitation exercise intervention improves the inhibition in female methamphetamine addicts:An ERP study
Objective:To investigate the improvement of the inhibition ability and brain activity characteristics in female methamphetamine addicts by rehabilitation exercise training.Method:Fifty-two females were methamphetamine addicts in abstinence were randomly divided into the inter-vention group and control group.All groups were completed the stop signal task and the desire for speed ques-tionnaire both before and after the intervention.Reaction times,the scores of the desire for speed question-naire and the amplitude of P3 were recorded and analyzed.Result:Compared with the control group,the stop signal response time was significantly decreased(P=0.003),the induced P3 amplitude was significantly increased(P=0.031),and the score of craving was signifi-cantly decreased in the intervention group(P=0.012)after rehabilitation exercise training.Conclusion:Rehabilitation exercise training for female methamphetamine addicts in the period of educational correction can effectively improve their inhibition ability and promote the reduction of amphetamine craving.
