Summary
This study tested whether a type of brainwave training called neurofeedback could help people with alcohol use disorder feel more confident about staying sober and improve mindfulness. Seventeen adults took part: some received 24 sessions of neurofeedback over 8 weeks, while others got no training. Researchers measured changes in self-confidence, mindfulness, and brain activity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
neurofeedback training (brainwave training using audio feedback)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help people with alcohol use disorder feel more confident in staying sober and be more mindful.
What could go wrong
This was a very small study with only 17 people, and the control group got no treatment, so results may not be reliable. The training requires many sessions and may not work for everyone.
