Zapping the brain to curb Booze-Fueled bad decisions?

NCT ID NCT07188376

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce the impulsive, risky behaviors that often happen after drinking alcohol. Twelve moderate drinkers will attend five visits, receiving either real or sham TMS after consuming an alcoholic or placebo drink. They will then complete tasks measuring self-control and decision-making. The goal is to understand if TMS can improve inhibitory control during intoxication, which could one day help prevent alcohol-related accidents and harm.
