Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a disease of many different symptoms. Although the metabolism of ethanol is well-known, no specific treatment of the withdrawal syndrome has been developed. When assessing the therapeutic efficacy of drugs in this syndrome one of the main symptoms to be followed is sleep disturbances, because inability to sleep often maintains the drinking cycle. Besides different target symptoms, the visual analogue scale and the ability to work are useful parameters. The assessment of the efficacy relies mainly on subjective parameters and comparisons with placebo are needed. |
