Brain wave training for alcohol use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a brain training technique called neurofeedback, which uses EEG to help people reduce alcohol cravings and drinking. It aims to see if this approach is feasible and helpful for people with alcohol use disorder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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 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 special brain scan to look at how alcohol use affects energy production in brain cells. It may help researchers find new ways to treat alcohol use disorder.
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.
