Neurofeedback plus brain stimulation for alcohol use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 65 years old.
- You are currently getting treatment for alcohol use disorder.
- You can safely have an MRI scan (no unsafe metal/implants, and you can stay in the scanner up to 1 hour).
- You do not have seizure risk factors (no personal seizure history, and no close family history of epilepsy).
- You have no conditions that make TMS unsafe (certain implanted head/medical devices, certain brain/nerve conditions, or recent serious head injury).
- You are not in active alcohol withdrawal and do not have current psychotic symptoms or a family history of schizophrenia.

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 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 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 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 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.
