Alcohol and cirrhosis: can a quick test spot brain problems?
NCT ID NCT04490330
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a short test called BEARNI could detect alcohol-related cognitive impairments (like memory and thinking problems) in people with alcoholic cirrhosis. The researchers planned to enroll patients with cirrhosis, but the study was stopped early after only one person joined. Because of this, no meaningful results were obtained.
