Robot-Assisted Intelligent Rehabilitation Treatment for Methamphetamine Use Disorders.

Randomized Clinical Trial of Robot-Assisted Intelligent Rehabilitation Treatment in Comparison With Standard Treatment for Methamphetamine Use Disorders and Alcohol Use Disorders

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent system as a virtual stand-alone treatment, delivered with minimal clinical monitoring compared with treatment as usual in methamphetamine (MA) use disorders.

Based on artificial intelligence technology, face recognition technology, virtual reality technology to develop an available Robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent system. Then, using this intelligent system as a new way of Psychotherapy to provide treatment for methamphetamine patients, and compare it with traditional treatment to verify the efficacy and safety of Robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent system in Chinese methamphetamine patients.
