Can Surgical Chip End Alcoholism?

NEWCOMER CHIP? –

April 26, 2023 – For several months, the Naltrexone chip is supposed to help people remove their alcohol cravings.

Let’s take a closer look. As part of a clinical trial directed by Hao Wei, a former vice-president of the United Nations’ International Narcotics Control Board, a man with the last name Liu, underwent a five-minute surgery on April 12 at the Hunan Brain Hospital in central China.

According to Hao and his coworkers at Central South University’s Second Xiangya Hospital, who are experts in substance misuse and addiction mechanisms, the chip is projected to reduce alcohol cravings for up to five months.

Liu, a native of the central Chinese region of Hunan, has been an alcoholic for 15 years, as per SCMP.

On a typical day, he would consume roughly half a litre of Chinese liquor before getting aggressive.
