Brain stimulation for liver disease with moderate alcohol use
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see if it can help people with liver disease linked to metabolism and moderate alcohol use. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas, which may improve liver health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a type of fatty liver disease linked to metabolism (MASLD) and drink moderate amounts of alcohol (20-60 grams per day, depending on sex).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is above 24.
- You do not have a history of alcohol abuse.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (using a mild electrical current) to see if it can help people reduce their alcohol use. It aims to improve symptoms of alcohol use disorder, which may help with recovery.
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 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 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.
