NCT ID NCT05843435
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study used powerful brain scans to look at how two brain networks—one for controlling impulses and one for reacting to alcohol cues—interact in people with alcohol use disorder. Researchers studied 59 participants to see if this brain connection relates to cravings and treatment success. The goal was to better understand the brain patterns behind alcohol addiction, not to test a new treatment.
