A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to identify risk factors associated with relapse in patients suffering from alcohol use disorder (AUD). It will explore whether there are distinct clusters of patients with similar characteristics and outcomes, and which risk factors are most predictive of relapse within these clusters. Participants will complete self-administered questionnaires, undergo evaluations by others, and participate in an electrophysiological assessment. The study also investigates the potential utility of a feedback measurement system in a detoxification unit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective treatment strategies for individuals with alcohol use disorder.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of clustering patients based on relapse risk factors is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in understanding AUD, suggesting potential for success.
