Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Change in craving in alcohol use disorder with naltrexone and baclofen combination over naltrexone alone as assessed by Alcohol Craving Questionnaire 2.Change in craving in alcohol use disorder with naltrexone and baclofen combination over naltrexone alone as assessed by OCDSTimepoint: assessed over baseline and day 24

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Change in resting-state functional connectivity of the Executive Control Network (ECN) among patients with alcohol dependence, assessed using resting-state fMRI 2.Change in cue-related functional connectivity of the Executive Control Network (ECN) among patients with alcohol dependence, assessed using task-based fMRI with alcohol-relatedTimepoint: 1.Resting-state functional connectivity of ECN Assessed at Baseline (Day 0) & Day 24. 2.Cue-related functional connectivity of ECN Assessed at Baseline (Day 0) & Day 24 during fMRI with alcohol-related cues.
