Official title
Cognitive Training in the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders in Older Veterans
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs) have a significant public health impact and are highly prevalent in Veterans. Alcohol related brain effects on neurocognition (attention, memory and executive function) reduce ability to benefit from current treatments. These cognitive impairments are especially common in the early phase of recovery, persist over years and get worse with age. Recent research suggests that cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) may improve attention, memory and executive function in other disorders, and the investigators just completed pilot study with AUD Veterans found significantly greater improvements for those receiving CRT. The proposed study examines AUD outcomes and neurocognitive improvements when CRT is combined with a standardized alcohol treatment. The investigators hypothesize that CRT will improve neurocognition and AUD outcomes more than standardized alcohol treatment alone. Findings will determine whether CRT augmentation can benefit Veterans with AUDs.
