“…The registered drug use identified as methamphetamine (MA) user increased from 29 to 43.8% in 2014 (Zhu et al, 2016 ). With East Asia regarded as a major region of concern due to its high MA production and trafficking (Rawson, 2013 ; Gowing et al, 2015 ; Kittirattanapaiboon et al, 2017 ), many researchers have raised an alert about ATS use/abuse around the world. The challenges of ATS use disorder have been recognized in China, and a large body of research on ATS use has emerged (Du et al, 2014 ).…”

“…Although studies found that sleep duration is longer and sleep quality is higher on average in women than men (Knutson, 2013 ), women are diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorders roughly twice as often as men (Fattore et al, 2014 ). Current studies focus on specific vulnerable populations, such as sex workers and women with HIV (Rawson, 2013 ; Rodriguez et al, 2014 ; Zhang et al, 2015 ; Page et al, 2016 ; Kittirattanapaiboon et al, 2017 ). However, reports on the treatment of female ATS-dependent individuals are rare.…”

Previous studies provide evidence that Tai Chi (TC) can reduce the symptoms of sleep problems and be of benefit for the rehabilitation of substance abusers. In this study, we investigated if TC practice can improve sleep quality and mood of females who are dependent on amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS). Eighty subjects were randomly assigned to TC intervention and standard care (SC) for 6 months. We applied analysis of variance on repeated-measure with the year of drug dependence as the covariate to test the changes of the self-rated Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), as well as fitness after 3 and 6 months. Relapse investigation was conducted by checking the database of China's National Surveillance System on Drug Abuse and that of the Shanghai Drug Control Committee's illicit drug dependents. Our investigation focused on the relapse of participants who had undergone and completed treatment in the Shanghai Mandatory Detoxification and Rehabilitation Center in 2015. The result showed that the PSQI scores of sleep duration [F (2, 92) = 9.86], need for sleep medications [F (2, 92) = 36.44] and daytime dysfunction [F (2, 92) = 5.15] were found to have a significant difference by time × group interaction after 6 months. SDS showed no significant difference between the two groups; however, the score of SDS in TC decreased after 6-month intervention, and no changes were observed in SC. Pulse rate had significantly decreased in the TC group compared with the SC group after 6 months. 9.5% (4) ATS dependents in TC and 26.3% (10) ATS dependents in SC were found to have relapsed. Our result suggested that TC had positive effects on sleep quality, depression and fitness. Long-term study demonstrated that TC may be a cheap and potential supplementary treatment for ATS-dependent individuals. TC may also be considered as an alternative exercise to escalate abstinence for ATS-dependent females.Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR-IPR-14005343 chictr. org.cn

“…These results provide support that both environmental factors are correlated between them, independent of the ulterior development or exacerbation of SSD. In this line, previous reviews have already concluded that there is a positive association between childhood or adulthood trauma and substance use (Kittirattanapaiboon, Srikosai, & Wittayanookulluk, 2017;Konkolÿ Thege et al, 2017;Lijffijt, Hu, & Swann, 2014;Simpson & Miller, 2002), but the timing of the association is still unclear as most of the traumatic experiences are retrospectively self-reported. Therefore, longitudinal well-designed studies about this area are highly recommended to establish robust conclusions.…”

Background: Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) are mental diseases caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and a number of environmental factors. Among these factors, the role of traumatic events suffered in childhood, as well as that of substance use, have been of particular research interest. Objectives: To conduct a systematic review to clarify whether there is an interaction between childhood trauma and substance use related to the diagnosis or symptoms of SSD. It was also the objective of this review to collate the associations that may exist between the three variables of the study (trauma, substance use and psychosis). Methods: We conducted a systematic search resulting in 240 articles. We considered all of the original articles that explored childhood trauma and substance use in patients suffering from SSD. Results: Twenty-three articles were selected for this review. Several of the reviewed papers found associations between childhood trauma and substance use with SSD, as well as interactions between trauma and drug use on SSD. Conclusions: The results suggest that childhood trauma and substance use may be present at the basis of psychosis. This double hit on the pathogenesis could have clinical implications, since each of these impacts could be considered a window of opportunity for the primary prevention of SSD.
