TMS guided by brain scans for alcohol use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Diagnosed with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder.
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding, and no metal implants in head or body.

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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
