Early clinical electroencephalographers reported that low-voltage fast desynchronized patterns were frequently seen in chronic alcoholism, suggesting hyperarousal of the central nervous system (CNS). The aim of the present study was to investigate the brain function of drug-free, detoxified alcoholics, and compare this with that of normal controls, utilizing computerized quantitative EEG analysis and subsequent EEG mapping. Moreover, differences between patients relapsing or abstaining during 6 months of relapse prevention therapy, pharmacologically supported by either flupentixol decanoate 10 mg or placebo i.m. every 2 weeks, were determined.
