Study Summary

This trial is testing whether computerized cognitive training can help improve neurocognitive impairments caused by alcohol use disorder, and whether this leads to better treatment outcomes including reduced post-discharge alcohol consumption.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with at least 10 years of education who meet the criteria for alcohol use disorder according to DSM-5. It's not suitable for those with current or unremitted psychotic, panic, or bipolar disorders, or medical histories like stroke that could affect neuropsychological function.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if computerized cognitive training can help people recovering from alcohol use disorder improve their brain functions. Participants will receive this training as an addition to inpatient treatment and its impact on recovery and post-treatment alcohol consumption will be assessed.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive computerized training programs focused on working memory, inhibitory control, and bias modification, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Working Memory Training (WM)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants complete training in a working memory task designed to utilize individually-adapted difficulty levels.
Group II: Inhibitory Control Training (IC)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants complete training in an inhibitory control task designed to utilize individually-adapted difficulty levels.
Group III: Bias Modification Training (BM)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants complete training in an active comparator task designed to weaken approach responses to alcohol-associated cues.
Group IV: Non-Trained control (NTC)Active Control1 Intervention
No active intervention is delivered beyond typical care.
