Using magnetic stimulation to reduce alcohol effects
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a magnetic stimulation technique can reduce the disinhibiting effects of alcohol. It may help us understand better ways to support people who drink moderately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 29 years old.
- You are a moderate drinker (you drink occasionally but do not have an alcohol use disorder).
- You have a BMI between 19 and 26 and at least a high school education.
- You do not have any history of seizures, head injury, or metal implants in your body.
- You are not currently taking medications that lower seizure risk.
- You smoke 5 or fewer cigarettes per day.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a type of noninvasive brain stimulation to reduce alcohol dependence and help people drink less or stop. You may be offered an accelerated treatment schedule, with regular check-ins and questionnaires to track progress.
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 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 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 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 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.
