Summary
This small study tested whether deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help veterans with alcohol use disorder stay sober. Eight veterans received the treatment and were followed for 6 months to see if they relapsed, how many days they stayed alcohol-free, and how many heavy drinking days they had. The goal was to see if this non-invasive brain stimulation could reduce cravings and support recovery.
