“…Exercise interventions in AUDs were considered safe, with no adverse events reported. Manthou et al 23 examined studies reporting the use of exercise to treat AUDs published between 1970 and 2015, including the underlying mechanisms. In total, 11 studies were identified, of which six concluded that exercise may have a positive impact on consumption, abstinence rates or the urge to drink 23.…”

Objectives To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating effects of exercise for people with alcohol use disorders (AUDs) across multiple health outcomes. We also investigated the prevalence and predictors of dropout from exercise studies in AUDs. Design Systematic review and random effects metaanalysis with meta-regression analyses. Data sources 3 major electronic databases were searched from inception until April 2016 for exercise intervention studies in adults with AUDs. Eligibility criteria Studies of acute exercise in people with AUDs; and randomised and non-randomised trials examining effects of long-term (≥2 weeks) exercise.Results 21 studies and 1204 unique persons with AUDs (mean age 37.8 years, mean illness duration 4.4 years) were included. Exercise did not reduce daily alcohol consumption (standardised mean difference (SMD) =−0.886, p=0.24), or the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) total scores (SMD=−0.378, p=0.18). For weekly consumption (n=3 studies), a statistically significant difference was observed favouring exercise (SMD=−0.656, p=0.04), but not after adjustment for publication bias (SMD=−0.16, 95% CI −0.88 to 0.55). Exercise significantly reduced depressive symptoms versus control (randomised controlled trials (RCTs) =4; SMD=−0.867, p=0.006, I 2 =63%) and improved physical fitness (VO 2 ) (RCTs=3; SMD=0.564, p=0.01, I 2 =46%). The pooled dropout rate was 40.3% (95% CI 23.3% to 60.1%) which was no different to control conditions (OR=0.73, p=0.52). Dropouts were higher among men (β=0.0622, p<0.0001, R 2

A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of family focused intervention on perceived stress and quality of life among persons with alcohol dependence syndrome admitted to the selected de-addiction centre, Kozhikode. The objectives were: Determine the effect of family focused intervention on perceived stress, and quality of life among persons with alcohol dependence syndrome. Explore the correlation between perceived stress and quality of life among persons with alcohol dependence syndrome. True experimental approach with pretest, post test control group design was adopted for 100 sample, 50 each for control and experimental groups by simple random sampling. Tools used were structured questionnaire for personal data, perceived stress scale for assessing perceived stress, WHO QOL-BREF Scale for quality of life. The control and experimental groups were evaluated by Friedman's repeated measures analysis of variance on ranks with Dunn's method and Mann Whitney rank sum test. The study concluded that family focused intervention was effective in reducing perceived stress and improving quality of life among persons with alcohol dependence syndrome.

Methods.A systematic review of literature that evaluates the success of long-term treatment of alcoholism was conducted using the Medline databases. The keywords used as search terms were: alcoholism, treatment success, long-term abstinence.Results. Six studies in total were taken into consideration due to the availability of a full text article and years of publication between 2000 and 2017. Treatment of alcoholism includes some of the following interventions: complete abstinence from alcohol, pharmacotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, selfhelp group attendance, family therapy, individual interventions, combined behavioral interventions and telephone-based interventions.
