Insomnia is a common symptom that may interfere with the efforts of alcohol-dependent patients to initiate and maintain sobriety. This study investigates the experiences of recovering alcohol-dependent patients with insomnia as well as preferences for treatment strategies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 patients in Ukraine and Germany. Most of the patients experienced negative psychological (n = 21), physiological (n = 14) effects and negative daytime consequences during insomnia. All 27 patients were engaged in nonpharmacological approaches to insomnia and 52% used pharmacological approaches to manage insomnia. This study provides insight for understanding how alcohol-dependent patients in recovery perceive insomnia.

Background: Alcohol dependence (AD) is an addictive disorder with multifaceted neurobiological features. Recent research on the pathophysiological mechanisms of AD has emphasized the important role of dysconnectivity. Cortical gyrification is known to be a reliable marker of neural connectivity.

Patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) who seek treatment show highly variable outcomes. A precision medicine approach with biomarkers responsive to new treatments is warranted to overcome this limitation. Promising biomarkers relate to prefrontal control mechanisms that are severely disturbed in AUD.

Background: Alcohol dependence is associated with several neuropsychological abnormalities, such as increased impulsivity or attentional bias towards drug-related stimuli. However, it is debated whether these abnormalities are on the decline after long-term abstinence from alcohol. Inpatient rehabilitation treatment enables the longitudinal investigation of such variables during a long, largely secured, period of abstinence.

Article Synopsis
- Alcohol dependence (AD) and sleep disturbance (SD) both negatively impact gut microbiota, but the interaction between SD and gut flora in AD patients is not well understood.
- This study involved 32 AD patients and 20 healthy controls, analyzing fecal samples throughout the day to explore differences in gut microbiota between AD patients with poor sleep (ADwPS) and good sleep (ADwGS).
- Results showed significant differences in gut microbiota composition and diurnal patterns, with the ADwPS group exhibiting higher anxiety, depression, and greater fluctuation in pathogenic bacteria compared to the ADwGS group.

Background: Research on event-related potentials (ERP) in addiction highlights the importance of cognitive ERP markers, such as P300 and error-related negativity (ERN), in distinguishing between alcohol-dependent patients and healthy controls. We aimed to develop and validate ERP paradigms utilizing culturally validated stimuli to evoke P300 and ERN for the Indian population.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 16 alcohol-dependent patients and age-matched healthy controls were recruited.
