Summary

This study tested whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS could help people with alcohol use disorder reduce cravings and risky behaviors during a 28-day inpatient program. Only 2 people enrolled before the study ended early, so no strong conclusions can be drawn. The approach aimed to change brain activity linked to alcohol cues and impulsivity.
