Exercise training to reduce alcohol use and liver damage
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with alcohol-related liver disease drink less and reduce liver injury. It may work by boosting a natural hormone called FGF21, which helps regulate alcohol intake.
