Analysis of Electroencephalographic Records Obtained During Heroin Withdrawal in Vietnam.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze electroencephalographic (EEG) records obtained from heroin dependent individuals during withdrawal. The EEG records were analyzed for various awake and sleep states according to standard techniques. The preliminary results indicate that the control subjects exhibited fairly standard sleep patterns. The patients undergoing heroin withdrawal displayed a definite disruption in the total sleep pattern which was characterized by an increase in the awake and awake plus alpha states, a decrease in some of the slow wave sleep states, and a greater suppression of the REM sleep state.
