Pilot rTMS for AUD+mTBI
Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) for Veteran participants with alcohol use disorder co-occurring with mild traumatic brain injury and/or post-traumatic stress disorder. The treatment intervention is repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and the goal is to reduce alcohol craving with this treatment. The study will enroll 20 Veteran participants. Half of these participants will receive real rTMS and half of the participants will receive placebo rTMS. rTMS treatment will be provided over 10 sessions that will occur once every weekday for 2 weeks. Veteran participants will then complete follow-up phone calls to further evaluate alcohol craving and other symptoms.
