Brain stimulation plus training to support alcohol abstinence
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (tDCS) and cognitive training can help people with alcohol use disorder stay abstinent. You may be included if you are currently not drinking and can commit to the program timeline.

This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help people with alcohol use disorder control their cravings and drinking habits. It is an add-on to your regular treatment.
This trial studies whether combining brain “training” (neurofeedback) with noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can help people with alcohol use disorder. It may be offered as an additional treatment alongside care you’re already receiving.
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 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 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 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.
