Tdcs And cogNitive traininG cOmbined for AUD (TANGO)
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to test a new treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder that supports long-term abstinence. This new treatment uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with cognitive training to decrease the chance of relapse. Additionally, we are interested in examining whether specific genetic differences are related to treatment outcomes. For this, we would collect a saliva sample from you. Providing a genetic sample (saliva) is optional and takes about 5 minutes.
All
18 Years to 65 Years old
Inclusion Criteria:
• Meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders diagnostic criteria for AUD
