Proposed Addiction Treatment Successful, Safe in Second Small Trial; Prolonged Abstinence, No Visual Problems in Patients Taking GVG for Meth/Cocaine Abuse.
(From AScribe)
UPTON, N.Y. -- A second, small-scale clinical trial of a proposed addiction treatment originally investigated at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has produced favorable results in the treatment of long-term addiction to methamphetamine and/or cocaine, with no visual side effects in any of the 30 patients enrolled.
This research on vigabatrin (a.k.a. gamma vinyl GABA, or GVG) was conducted in collaboration with doctors from the New York University (NYU) School of Medicine and the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research at a national addiction treatment center in Mexicali, Mexico. The results are published in the February 2005 issue of Synapse, now available online.
"We now have additional clinical data to back up our belief that GVG can be used safely and effectively to treat people suffering from drug addiction," said Brookhaven neuroanatomist Stephen Dewey.
