A randomized sham-controlled trial to study the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on craving, abstinence, and time to relapse in severe alcohol use disorder
Adjunctive tDCS demonstrated efficacy in reducing craving and preventing relapse in individuals with severe alcohol dependence. These findings suggest the potential of tDCS as a therapeutic intervention for severe alcohol dependence which is less intense in terms of resources and time and can further be tailored to monitor neurobiological correlates in recovery.
