Brain pacemaker tested for Hardest-to-Treat alcohol addiction

NCT ID NCT07341230

Summary

This study is testing whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with severe alcohol addiction who haven't improved with standard treatments. DBS involves implanting a device that sends small electrical signals to specific brain areas involved in craving and self-control. Researchers will measure whether this reduces drinking frequency and amount while monitoring brain activity to understand how it works.
