Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChanges in High Frequency Heart Rate Variability22 daysTo assess whether acute ingestion of CBD can modulate heart rate variability when responding to alcohol cues compared to neutral cues
PrimaryChanges in Skin Conductance Levels22 daysTo assess whether acute ingestion of CBD modulates skin conductance levels when responding to alcohol cues compared to neutral cues
PrimaryChanges in Brain Activation22 daysTo assess whether acute ingestion of CBD can attenuate brain activation via blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) in areas associated with alcohol cue-elicited craving measured by an fMRI machine
PrimaryChanges in Neurotransmitter levels in the Brain22 daysTo assess whether CBD treatment leads to changes in brain levels of the neurotransmitters: glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and glutathione (GSH)
PrimaryHeavy Drinking DaysUp to 43 daysReduction in Heavy Drinking Days (HDD; defined as 4 or more drinks in a day for women and five or more drinks in a day for men). This will be measured by the Timeline Follow Back.
PrimaryAbsence of any Heavy Drinking DayUp to 43 daysMeasured by Timeline Follow Back
PrimaryMean Alcohol Consumption per Drinking DayUp to 43 daysMeasured by Timeline Follow Back
PrimaryAlcohol Dependence SeverityBaselineMeasured by the Alcohol Dependence Scale. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 47. A higher score indicates more severe dependence.
PrimaryAlcohol CravingUp to 43 days
As measured by the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS), which measures the amount of time spent thinking and craving for alcohol, difficulty in resisting consumption of alcohol if present and hypothetical pleasure associated with consumption of alcohol. This scale has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 6. A higher score indicates greater levels of craving.
SecondaryChanges in Alcohol Craving22 days
To assess whether acute ingestion of CBD can modulate subjective measures of alcohol cue elicited craving. This will be measured during the fMRI scan using the Visual Analogue Scale. This scale will assess alcohol craving, thirst and anxiety.
SecondaryChanges in Alcohol Craving in response to alcohol cues22 days
To assess whether acute ingestion of CBD can modulate subjective measures of alcohol cue elicited craving. This will be measured before and after the fMRI scan using the Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ). This Questionnaire consists of 8 questions that are scored on a Likert scale of 7 points. Two of the questions are reversed scored. Total score is computed by averaging the item scores. A greater score indicates greater craving.
SecondaryChanges in Positive and Negative Mood States22 days
To assess whether acute ingestion of CBD can modulate subjective measures of positive and negative mood states following alcohol cues. This will be measured before and after the fMRI scan using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS).
SecondaryChanges in AnxietyUp to 43 daysMeasured by cumulative scores on the DASS-21 Anxiety Scale. This scale has a minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 21. A higher score indicates more anxiety.
SecondaryChanges in DepressionUp to 43 daysMeasured by cumulative scores on the DASS-21 Depression Scale. This scale has a minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 21. A higher score indicates greater depression.
SecondaryChanges in StressUp to 43 daysMeasured by cumulative scores on the DASS-21 Stress Scale. This scale has a minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 21. A higher score indicates more stress.
SecondarySleep DisturbancesUp to 43 daysAs measured by the ISI (Insomnia Severity Index). This Index has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 28. The higher the score indicates more severe insomnia.
SecondarySleep Disturbances22 days
To assess whether acute ingestion of CBD has any impact of sleep. This will be measured by an Actiwatch. The Actiwatch records motion and light to determine information about participants sleep and wake patterns. The participants will wear this watch for 48 hours on two separate occasions.
SecondaryChanges in Tension Reduction Alcohol ExpectanciesUp to 43 days
To assess whether CBD treatment can reduce participants need to use alcohol to attenuate tension states (such as anxiety) as measured by the Tension Reduction subscale of the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire. Higher scores indicate greater reliance on alcohol to reduce tension/ anxiety.
SecondaryLifetime Consequences related to DrinkingBaseline
To examine the adverse consequences a participant has experienced in their lifetime due to alcohol abuse in five areas: Interpersonal, Physical, Social, Impulsive, and Intrapersonal. This is measured using the Drinker Inventory of Consequences Lifetime Edition (DrInC-2L). Higher scores indicate more consequences.
SecondaryRecent Consequences related to DrinkingBaseline
To examine the adverse consequences a participant has experienced in the last 3 months due to alcohol abuse in five areas: Interpersonal, Physical, Social, Impulsive, and Intrapersonal. This is measured using the Drinker Inventory of Consequences Recent Edition (DrInC-2R). Higher scores indicate more consequences.
