Building and testing tasks to measure brain and movement
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study helps create and test simple tasks that measure brain function and movement in people with different backgrounds. It may help researchers better understand how the brain and body work, which can improve future alcohol-related treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Pass a physical/nervous system check called a neuromotor exam
- Not be currently taking psychiatric medicines (psychotropic medications)
- If you are an inpatient, you must not be in alcohol withdrawal (based on a recent CIWA score of 8 or less)
- Be able to safely have an MRI scan (no metal/implants that make MRI unsafe)
- Not be pregnant, and not be left-handed, and not have severe claustrophobia

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects natural history information and brain imaging (MRI) using an imaging instrument to compare people with alcohol use disorder and people without. It may help researchers understand how brain imaging works in real-world participants and how it relates to alcohol-related health.
This study looks at whether alcohol use disorder affects the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in movement and balance. It may help researchers understand brain impacts and guide better treatments.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to better understand how alcohol affects the brain, which may lead to new treatments.
This trial tests how the medication acamprosate affects brain activity in people with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder. It may help researchers understand how this treatment works.
This study uses a brain-and-behavior “assessment” (neuroclinical testing) to better understand addiction. You may be tested only if you are an adult and are enrolled in the NIAAA screening program, and you cannot join if you are acutely intoxicated.
This study looks at how a ketone supplement and alcohol affect your brain's metabolism. You will be asked to visit the lab, have an MRI, and possibly take the supplement or drink alcohol.
