Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: Substance misuse can lead to several consequences for physical and mental health. Physical exercise is an important ally to pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment for substance use. However, the literature is still scarce regarding long-term interventions. Thus, this study aims to describe the acceptability and effects of combined physical training intervention (aerobic and strength). Methods: This study comprises an n-of-1 clinical trial that was performed with a 64-year-old male individual with alcohol use disorder. The treatment lasted 12 weeks and evaluated the association of multidisciplinary interventions on quality of life, depressive symptoms, cognitive impairment, and anxiety. Results: The participant improved general quality of life (12.5%), no alterations were found for depressive symptoms, there was an improvement in cognition (20%), as well a reduction in the trait (16.2%) and state (14.7%) anxiety symptoms of the participant. Conclusions: These findings allude to the importance of non-drug therapeutic resources such as structured physical exercise, associated with other offers in the treatment of alcohol use disorder.

联合体能训练与多学科干预治疗酒精使用障碍:一项n = 1的研究

【摘要】目的:药物滥用可导致多种生理和心理健康后果。体育锻炼是药物滥用的药理和心理治疗的重要手段。然而，关于长期干预的文献仍然很少。因此，本研究旨在描述体能训练联合干预(有氧和力量)的可接受性和效果。方法:本研究包括一项n-of-1临床试验，对一名64岁男性酒精使用障碍患者进行研究。治疗持续12周，评估多学科干预对生活质量、抑郁症状、认知障碍和焦虑的影响。结果:参与者的总体生活质量得到改善(12.5%)，抑郁症状没有改变，认知改善(20%)，以及参与者的特质焦虑症状(16.2%)和状态焦虑症状(14.7%)减轻。结论:这些发现暗示了非药物治疗资源的重要性，如有组织的体育锻炼，以及其他治疗酒精使用障碍的方法。
