Scientists test brain feedback to fight alcohol urges

NCT ID NCT04828577

Summary

This small, completed study tested a brain training method for people who wanted to reduce their drinking. Researchers used real-time brain scans to show participants their own brain activity while they thought about alcohol or personal goals. The goal was to see if this feedback could help people learn to better control their cravings, but it was a first-step experiment to understand the process, not a treatment trial.
