Check out the recent publication from the findings of our PaNACea study!

Congratulations to Drs. Sudie Back, Kevin Gray and other collaborators on their new publication in NCBI - National Center for Biotechnology Information.

The study tested N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a treatment for people with co-occurring PTSD and alcohol use disorder (AUD). In this randomized controlled trial, participants receiving NAC and those receiving placebo while also completing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for AUD. Both showed significant improvements in PTSD symptoms, alcohol use, and cravings. However, NAC was not more effective than placebo.
