Clinical Trial: The GLUCID Study: Effect of Alcohol Reduction and Probiotic Interventions on Cognition and Brain Glucose Metabolism in Normal Aging Adults Who Are High-Risk Alcohol Drinkers

U.S., Feb. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07415707) titled 'The GLUCID Study: Effect of Alcohol Reduction and Probiotic Interventions on Cognition and Brain Glucose Metabolism in Normal Aging Adults Who Are High-Risk Alcohol Drinkers' on Jan. 22.

Brief Summary: The goal of this pilot study is to explore a combination of two interventions: (1) a behavioral alcohol-reduction intervention using motivational interviewing, and (2) a blinded probiotic microbiome or placebo intervention. The study examines whether these interventions improve cognitive and neurophysiological function, including brain metabolism, in older adults who are high-risk alcohol drinkers.
