P-26 - Psychomotor Speed in Opioid Addicted hiv (+) and hiv (-) Subjects After Methadon Single Dose Administration
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2020
Abstract
Research on cognitive functions in opioids addicted subjects treated with methadone indicate that cognitive functions are in various degree disturbed.
This study aims to assess the impact of a therapeutic dose of methadone on psychomotor velocity in HIV (+) and HIV (-) subjects treated with substitution therapy.
73 patients were examined, 32 HIV (-) and 41 HIV (+) (mean age 39.5 ± 7.7) treated with methadone for an average of 54 months. The examination was conducted twice: before and about 1.5 hours after the administration of a therapeutic dose of methadone (mean dose: 83 ± (34) mg). A test sheet was placed on the graphic tablet. In both parts of the test execution time was measured.
It was found that the average time of TMT A completion before methadone administration in HIV (-) individuals is 40.2 ± (12)s and in HIV (+) ones - 50.6 ± (25.7)s, after methadone administration in HIV (-) individuals: 36.4 ± (10.2)s, in HIV (+) - 42.4 ± (18,8,51)s. The value of T test in HIV (-) and HIV (+) subjects before the administration of a therapeutic dose of methadone amounts to t = 2.1083, p = 0.0385, and after the application it amounts to t = 1.6157, p = 0.1106.
Psychomotor velocity measured by TMT A Test before the administration of a therapeutic dose of methadone increases significantly in HIV(-) subjects in comparison to HIV (+) ones. Psychomotor velocity after the administration of a therapeutic dose of methadone is not statistically significant in HIV (-) subjects as compared to HIV (+) ones.
