Trial Purpose and Description
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of stress, pain, and alcohol on the brain. This project uses a combined multimethod subjective, hormonal and brain assessment (functional MRI) before and during treatment for chronic pain and/or alcohol use disorder. We are recruiting community volunteers who are social users of alcohol who may or may not experience chronic pain issues and individuals with alcohol use disorder who may or may not experience chronic pain issues.
