Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
On évalue, à l'aide du questionnaire standard SOWQ (subjective opiate withdrawal questionnaire) l'intensité des syndromes de sevrage aux opiacés au cours d'un traitement court (5 jours) et on compare avec l'OOWS (objective opiate withdrawal scale). Les deux méthodes doivent être considérées pour un traitement efficace et une réduction du risque de rechute.
ENGLISH :
The subjective opiate withdrawal questionnaire (SOWQ) and the objective opiate withdrawal scale (OOWS) were administered to detect withdrawal distress during a rapid opiate detoxification. No correlations could be observed between the clinical assessments and self ratings of the 20 patients participating in this study. The observers'ratings of withdrawal reached pre-treatment levels within 3 days. In subjective rating, withdrawal distress returned to normal levels 120 h after detoxification. We conclude, that self reports are as important as observer ratings in assessing treatment efficacity. The use of both scales might prevent early relapse after detoxification. (Author's abstract)
