Summary

This study tests a device that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain (Deep TMS) to help people with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder drink less. About 186 adults aged 18-86 will get either real or fake (sham) treatment over several weeks. The goal is to see if the real treatment reduces heavy drinking days more than the sham.
