About this trial
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a major public health problem that affects the physical, social, family, and mental integrity of the sufferer. Behavioral self-regulation is compromised in AUD, and a benefit has been reported with the application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and emotional self-regulation. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of high-frequency rTMS to improve executive functions in patients in abstinence from AUD.
