Official title

The Effects of Intranasal Oxytocin on Approach Bias and Craving in Moderate to Heavy Alcohol Drinkers

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This will be a laboratory-based investigation of the behavioral and neural effects of intranasal oxytocin on craving for alcohol and approach bias in moderate to heavy alcohol using subjects.
