Trial Outcomes & Findings for Understanding Treatment Response With Naltrexone Among White Alcoholics (NCT NCT00817089)

NCT ID: NCT00817089

Last Updated: 2019-11-21

Results Overview

Change from baseline to peak cortisol response, during the 2nd alcohol challenge session, subjective response as measured by Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale: Total Mood. Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale: Total Mood: minimum = 0, maximum = 106, higher scores indicate better outcomes.
