Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of neurofeedback (NF) in enhancing integrative body-mind training (IBMT) to reduce polysubstance use. Participants will engage in IBMT while receiving real-time feedback on their brain activity, specifically targeting self-control networks. The study will include individuals with a history of heavy drinking, cannabis use, and daily cigarette smoking, who do not have other psychiatric diagnoses. The goal is to determine if this combined approach can lead to improved outcomes in managing substance use disorders.
