ABSTRACT
Introduction. Inhalant use disorder has increased in spite of its adverse medical consequences. Due to the
inherent difficulties of working with this population, so far there has been no quantifiable clinical evidence
of the cognitive characteristics of inhalants users in early withdrawal and the clinic effect of consumption
time.
Objective. To evaluate the clinical and cognitive performance of inhalant users and the clinic effects
of consumption time.
Method. A cross-sectional study in which 28 adult users of inhalants were included,
divided in two groups according to their consumption time: less than or greater than seven years. They were
all evaluated in terms of clinical and neuropsychological values.
Results. Consumers of inhalant showed
presence of craving (
M = 479.14,
SD = 213.51), altered frontal behavior before (
M = 119.18,
SD = 29.53)
and now (
M = 130,
SD = 33.03), sleeping problems (
M = 8.93,
SD = 3.4), and cognitive difficulties (inhibitory
control, planning, decision-making, working memory, verbal fluency, and cognitive flexibility); all these tasks
were statistically significant (
p = ‹ .05).
Discussion and conclusion. Executive functioning is impaired with
inhalant use disorder; these alterations increase with withdrawal and craving and changes remain independent
from the use time.
