The major objective of this study was to examine the persistence of abnormal quantitative EEG (qEEG) measures over a six month time interval in subjects in strictly supervised drug free residential treatment for crack cocaine dependence. Seventeen subjects were assessed with qEEG at five to 10 days, one month and six months following their last use of cocaine. No significant changes were noted over time in abnormal qEEG measures, which included deficits of absolute and relative power in the delta band and increased relative alpha power. The persistence of qEEG abnormality in crack cocaine withdrawal suggests a persistent neurobiologic alteration resulting from chronic cocaine exposure. The specificity of the qEEG findings is discussed, and an interpretation is suggested with reference to the hypothesis of neural sensitization in cocaine dependence.
