Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation as a treatment for Veterans with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) to decrease the exceedingly high rate of relapse associated with this condition.

Conditions

  • Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimilation

Interventions

DEVICE

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) H7 coil - Active

The study will utilize the H7 coil to administer active Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) to the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), a core salience network node.

DEVICE

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) H7 coil - Sham

The study will utilize an identical protocol using the H7 coil to administer a sham condition.
