Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of the proposed project is to improve the treatment of individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). We will conduct a pilot feasibility trial of Approach Bias Modification (AABM) training of heavy-drinking non-treatment seeking individuals with AUD. We will measure feasibility with respect to recruitment, retention and tolerability of AABM training and the Alcohol Drinking Paradigm (ADP). We will also assess changes in alcohol craving and alcohol consumption during ADP sessions conducted before and after 2 weeks of AABM training.


Clinical Trial Description

Heavy-drinking non-treatment seeking male community volunteers with a diagnosis of AUD will receive 2 weeks of AABM training preceded and followed by a 1-day ADP session. AABM training is a computer training program that participants interact with by pushing and pulling a joystick. Participants are asked to respond to the format of a presented picture, irrespective of the pictures' content. Training effect is achieved by presenting alcohol pictures in push format only and non-alcoholic drinks in pull format only. Training is conducted in 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks, for a total of 6 sessions. The ADP session is a one day human laboratory session taking place at the SFVA Medical Center. This human laboratory session involves the self-administration of alcoholic beverages by research participants under highly structured, observed conditions in order to evaluate the effects of the study intervention (AABM training) on alcohol craving and alcohol consumption. The investigators hoped to recruit 12 participants to enroll and start the clinical trial over the course of 1 year. ;
