Enhancing Prospective Thinking in Early Recovery (BEAM)
- Conditions
- Alcohol Use Disorder
- Registration Number
- NCT06283472
- Lead Sponsor
- Indiana University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the prosocial effects of personally-relevant, high-intensity episodic future-thinking (EFT) cues in alcohol use disorder persons and related brain mechanisms. The main question\[s\] this trial aims to answer are:
* Will high-intensity EFT cues will produce greater delayed reward preference than low-intensity cues?
* Will high-intensity EFT cues effect greater treatment-seeking interest?
* Will high-intensity EFT cues elicit greater response in regions for prospective thinking during delay discounting (vs. low-intensity)
* Will nucleus accumbens-precuneus resting connectivity correlate with behavioral SS?
* Will the novel behavioral SS decision-making task activate the nucleus accumbens?
Researchers will compare the experimental (high-intensity group) and control (low-intensity) groups to see if there are differences in the results for the questions outlined above.
