Study of brain changes in alcohol use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 brain scans (fMRI) to look at a small area deep in the brain called the septal nuclei, which may play a role in alcohol use disorder. It aims to understand how the brain's structure and activity relate to heavy drinking, which could lead to better treatments.
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 gives a controlled amount of alcohol and uses brain MRI scans to understand how alcohol affects people with bipolar disorder. It may help researchers find brain and behavior patterns that explain differences in alcohol responses.
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.
