Summary

This trial aims to study the effects of stimulating certain nerve fibers in the skin on reducing anxiety and stress in people with AUD (alcohol use disorder). These nerve fibers, called CT fibers, are responsible

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have had Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) within the last six months. It's not suitable for those with unstable medical or psychological conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests if stimulating skin fibers and heat channels can reduce stress and anxiety in AUD sufferers. Participants will be split into groups, some getting real stimulation and others placebo, to see which works better.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive stimulation of skin fibers and heat channels rather than drugs, side effects may include local discomfort at the site of stimulation but are expected to be minimal.
