Mindfulness and brain stimulation for alcohol recovery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (like a mild electrical current) with mindfulness training can help people with alcohol dependence stay sober. If you recently stopped drinking and meet the health requirements, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device can make standard psychotherapy work better for people who drink in a risky way. It’s designed for community participants who are not already in alcohol-use treatment.
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 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.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses gentle electrical currents (temporal interference) to target a brain area involved in alcohol cravings. It aims to reduce alcohol use and may offer a new treatment option for people with alcohol use disorder.
