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 trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see how it affects the brain in people with alcohol use disorder. It may help reduce alcohol cravings and improve treatment outcomes.
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 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.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can help people with alcohol use disorder reduce their drinking. It is for people who want to cut down but are not necessarily ready to stop completely.
