Condition: Alcohol Use Disorder · Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
This study is testing a new treatment called IR-TMS (image-guided, robot navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help people who drink too much alcohol to reduce the amount they drink. Participants will be placed into one of three groups, each receiving a slightly different version of this treatment. The study involves going through a few sessions of IR-TMS, having brain scans (MRI), providing blood and urine samples, and answering questions about their drinking and mental health. These activities are part of the study and aren't usually part of regular treatment for alcohol use. IR-TMS is different from regular treatments like therapy or medication because it uses magnetic fields to target specific parts of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce the urge to drink. There are other options, like sticking with therapy or medication, which are less intense but have been used for a longer time.
