Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'usage récent de cocaïne est associé à des troubles de la mémoire, de la vision spatiale et de la concentration pendant la phase aigüe du sevrage, indépendanment de la dépression liée au sevrage. De plus, la plupart de ces déficits persistent au moins deux semaines après arrêt de la consommation.
ENGLISH :
Sixteen subjects hospitalized for treatment of cocaine dependence were administered a battery of neuropsychological tests within 72 h of last cocaine use and again approximately 2 weeks later. Twenty-one non-cocaine using control subjects, also received neuropsychological testing. Abstinence from mood altering substances during the 2- week study period was verified for both groups. The results suggest that recent cocaine use is associated with impairment in memory, visuospatial abilities, and concentration during the acute phase of withdrawal, independent of withdrawal-related depression. Furthermore, many of the deficits appear to persist at least 2 weeks beyond cessation of cocaine use. (From the author's abstract)
