A randomised controlled trial of Cognitive Bias Modification training during early recovery from alcohol dependence

酒精依赖的复发通常发生在解毒后的几天内，部分原因是酒精依赖者很容易受到酒精相关线索的刺激。计算机化的“大脑训练”项目可能会减少这种“方法偏差”，降低复发的风险。我们的目标是进行一项多地点试验，测试这种培训对酒精复发的影响，并估计通过在住院戒毒期间进行这种治疗可以实现的医疗保健系统的节省。

Relapse to alcohol dependence often occurs within days of detoxification, partly because alcohol-dependent people are easily triggered to approach alcohol-related cues. Computerised “brain-training” programs may reduce this “approach bias”, reducing risk of relapse. We aim to conduct a multi-site trial testing the effects of this training on alcohol relapse, and to estimate the savings to the health care system that could be achieved by conducting this treatment during inpatient detoxification.
