Can a pill for sleep help rewire the addicted brain?
NCT ID NCT06484075
Summary
This study is investigating whether suvorexant, a medication approved for sleep problems, can change brain chemistry related to addiction in people with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Researchers will compare brain scans, sleep patterns, and cravings in people with AUD receiving either the drug or a placebo during a detoxification stay, and also in healthy volunteers. The main goal is to understand the drug's effects on the brain, not to provide a new treatment at this stage.
