Reaction time is defined as the time from the start of a stimulus to the start of the voluntary movement. Time plays an important role in undertaking daily living activities. Reaction time is an important factor in respect of both quality of life and of capabilities demonstrated in the work environment. Alcohol and some addictive substances have effect on RT. The aim of this study was to compare the visual and auditory reaction times of patients with opioid use disorder with healthy control subjects.
The study was applied to two groups as the opioid use disorder group and the control group. A Sociodemographic and Clinical Data Form was prepared for each patient including age, gender, marital status and education level. Using a computer program the response to visual screen color change (red/blue) and to an auditory 'beep' sound of the computer system were recorded. The Student's t-test was applied as a statistical method.
The results showed longer reaction times in the patients with opioid use disorder.
To add improving reaction time approaches in opioid use disorder treatment may contribute to treatment by increasing quality of life and work performance.
反应时间定义为从刺激开始到自主运动开始的时间。时间在进行日常生活活动中起着重要作用。反应时间在生活质量和工作环境中所展现的能力方面都是一个重要因素。酒精和一些成瘾物质会对反应时间产生影响。本研究的目的是比较阿片类物质使用障碍患者与健康对照者的视觉和听觉反应时间。
该研究应用于两组，即阿片类物质使用障碍组和对照组。为每位患者准备了一份社会人口学和临床数据表，包括年龄、性别、婚姻状况和教育水平。使用计算机程序记录对视觉屏幕颜色变化（红色/蓝色）和计算机系统的听觉“哔哔”声的反应。采用学生 t 检验作为统计方法。
结果显示阿片类物质使用障碍患者的反应时间更长。
在阿片类物质使用障碍治疗中增加改善反应时间的方法可能会通过提高生活质量和工作表现来促进治疗。
