Brain stimulation study for alcohol use with mild brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation to help with day-to-day functioning in people who have alcohol use disorder and a history of mild traumatic brain injury. It also uses brain and symptom testing to see who may benefit most and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether brain stimulation plus targeted brain rehabilitation can improve symptoms after a mild concussion (mTBI). You may be invited if your concussion happened at least 3 months ago and your symptoms are affecting thinking or mood, with or without PTSD.
This study tests whether a new type of brain stimulation, guided by MRI and a robot, can help reduce heavy drinking in people with alcohol use disorder. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to improve brain function related to cravings.
This study uses a brain stimulation technique called TMS combined with MRI scans to treat alcohol use disorder. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can help reduce drinking.
This trial tests a type of noninvasive brain stimulation to see if it can reduce drinking and related “wanting” to drink. It may help people with alcohol use disorder who are currently drinking heavily.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device can make standard psychotherapy work better for people who drink in a risky way. It’s designed for community participants who are not already in alcohol-use treatment.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical currents to target the part of the brain linked to alcohol cravings. It may help people with alcohol use disorder reduce their drinking.
