NCT01569399

Brief Summary

Prior research in substance dependence has suggested potential anti-craving effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) when applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The aim of the investigators study was to investigate the effect of high frequency rTMS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex compared to sham stimulation on craving and alcohol consumption.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Superiority of left rTMS (DLPFC)on reduction of alcohol consumption in AD patients compared to sham rTMS

    Evaluation of the intensity of craving (AUQ, Borg analogic scale, OCDS) and total day with no alcohol use measured with TLFB at Day 0, Day 5, Day 15, Month1 , Month3 and Month6 in AD outpatients.

    Patients will be followed during 6 month
