Zapping the brain to fight addiction? VA tests new tool for veterans

NCT ID NCT04574167

Summary

This study tested whether a mild, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) could boost the benefits of mental exercises for veterans recovering from alcohol use disorder. Researchers wanted to see if this combination could improve brain function, thinking skills, and ultimately help reduce binge drinking and prevent relapse. The study involved 45 veterans who had been sober for at least one week.
