Planning to avoid alcohol: a training study for alcohol use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a simple planning technique (called 'implementation intentions') to a computer-based training program helps people with alcohol use disorder change their habits. The training teaches you to avoid alcohol-related cues, and the planning step may make it more effective.

This study is testing a new way to understand and predict relapse in people with alcohol use disorder. If you're currently hospitalized for this condition, researchers want to learn from your experience to improve care.
This trial tests a program to improve memory and thinking skills in people with alcohol use disorder. It may help support recovery and daily functioning.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can improve sleep quality in people with alcohol use disorder. You would work with a physical activity coach over several weeks, and your sleep and health would be monitored closely.
This Phase 2 study tests whether donepezil, along with structured cognitive (brain) training, can improve outcomes for people with alcohol use disorder. It will measure whether this combination helps after recent heavy drinking, while tracking safety over about 13 weeks.
This study tests a virtual program that rewards you for reducing heavy drinking. You'd use a phone app, check in via Zoom, and get a glimpse into your drinking patterns through a blood test. It might be a good fit if you want to cut back on heavy drinking without going to an in-person clinic.
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.
