Cognitive cycling to prevent relapse after alcohol withdrawal
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special cognitive training program, called 'cognitive cycling,' can help people with alcohol use disorder stay sober after leaving the hospital. It looks at whether this training can reduce the chance of relapse by exercising the brain's control centers.
