Official title
Exploring the Feasibility and Acceptability of Brief Mindfulness Training With Vagal Nerve Stimulation for Reducing Alcohol Consumption Among Young Adults
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The present study will assess the acceptability and feasibility of a brief intervention designed to help young heavy drinkers reduce their alcohol consumption. All participants will complete a brief (1-week) mindfulness intervention, and participants will be randomized to receive either active or inactive Respiratory-gated Auricular Vagal Afferent Nerve Stimulation (RAVANS) during two in-person laboratory visits. Heart rate variability data and self-report survey data will be collected to assess the impact of the intervention on autonomic regulation, alcohol consumption, and additional clinical measures.
