Mindfulness‐Based Relapse Prevention and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Reduce Heavy Drinking: A Double‐Blind Sham‐Controlled Randomized Trial
Overview
This double-blind sham-controlled randomized trial evaluates the efficacy of combining Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for reducing heavy drinking among individuals with alcohol use disorder. The study involved 84 participants who received either active or sham tDCS alongside an eight-week outpatient MBRP program. Results indicated significant reductions in drinking metrics over time, particularly linked to treatment attendance, but found no additive benefit from the active tDCS intervention compared to the sham condition.
