Study uses brain stimulation to test attention changes
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a treatment called TMS to see how it affects attention (how you focus and process information). You may be placed in a group based on how often you drink alcohol, and your eligibility depends on safety checks for MRI and TMS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- You must fit into either the drinking group or the lower-drinking/healthy volunteer group
- Be able to safely complete an up to 1-hour MRI scan (no unsafe metal, and you can tolerate being in the scanner)
- Not have safety risks for TMS or seizure problems (no seizure history and no epilepsy in close family)
- Not have implanted devices in/near your head that would make TMS unsafe
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation device (Deep TMS) to help people with alcohol use disorder reduce or stop heavy drinking. It uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas linked to addiction.
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 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 trial tests whether high-frequency rTMS (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can reduce how much alcohol you drink. It targets people with alcohol use disorder who are not fully stopping, and who want to cut down after a past relapse or failed withdrawal attempt.
