Summary

This study tests whether combining fMRI neurofeedback (brain activity training) and TMS (magnetic brain stimulation) can help people with alcohol use disorder drink less and feel fewer cravings. About 90 adults aged 19-65 who are already in treatment will attend weekly sessions for 4 weeks, then be followed for up to 12 months. The goal is to see if these brain-based techniques improve long-term control over drinking.
