Brain wave training for alcohol use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a type of brain training called neurofeedback that aims to help people with alcohol use disorder by changing the activity of their brain waves. It will check if this training is practical and acceptable for people who drink alcohol regularly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether combining ketamine with a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help people reduce or stop drinking alcohol. It may offer a new treatment option for alcohol use disorder.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation may change brain and behavior in people with alcohol use disorder. It may help researchers understand safety and potential effects, especially in people who are stable on treatment and not having seizure or severe mood symptoms.
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 tests whether a new type of alternating current brain stimulation can help people with alcohol use disorder reduce their drinking. It involves several sessions of non-invasive stimulation while you complete questionnaires and behavioral tasks.
This study tests whether a brain-training therapy called neurofeedback can improve “metacognition” (how well you monitor and understand your own thinking) in people with severe alcohol use disorder during/after a short detox program. It also studies brain signals using special recordings to see what changes may happen.
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.
