Comparator Agent  Sham Transcranial direct current stimulation( Sham tDCS)  Patients of Alcohol Dependence Syndrome found eligible for participation in study after application of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be taken. Candidates for Sham transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) will be selected by allocation through random number table. The individuals will be given sham tDCS along with standard treatment (anti-craving medication and psychotherapy) for de-addiction in alcohol dependence syndrome. Individual selected for tDCS will be given 10 cycles of Sham tDCS over 05 days with 02 cycles on each day. The duration of each cycle of tDCS will be 20 minutes. The change in craving and relapse rates will be analysed by reviewing the patient at 1 and 3 months after Sham tDCS while continuing standard treatment. The change will be checked by administration of Penn alcohol craving scale. Value of more than and equal to 20 on Penn alcohol craving scale will be taken as threshold for alcohol craving 
Intervention  Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation ( tDCS)  Patients of Alcohol Dependence Syndrome found eligible for participation in study after application of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be taken. Candidates for transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) will be selected by allocation through random number table. The individuals will be given tDCS along with standard treatment (anti-craving medication and psychotherapy) for de-addiction in alcohol dependence syndrome. Individual selected for tDCS will be given 10 cycles of tDCS over 05 days with 02 cycles on each day. The duration of each cycle of tDCS will be 20 minutes. In each cycle, 2 mA of transcranial direct current stimulation will be given. The change in craving and relapse rates will be analysed by reviewing the patient at 1 and 3 months after tDCS while continuing standard treatment. The change will be checked by administration of Penn alcohol craving scale. Value of more than and equal to 20 on Penn alcohol craving scale will be taken as threshold for alcohol craving.

Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess reduction in craving and relapse in patients of Alcohol Dependence Syndrome after application of adjunct tDCS. The assessment will be done at baseline before starting treatment and then after 01 month and 03 months of application of adjunct tDCS. Change in craving will be assessed using Penn Alcohol Craving Scale. Value of 20 or more on the scale will be taken as threshold for craving.   To assess reduction in craving and relapse in patients of Alcohol Dependence Syndrome after application of adjunct tDCS. The assessment will be done at baseline before starting treatment and then after 01 month and 03 months of application of adjunct tDCS

Brief Summary   An interventional study will be done in patients of Alcohol Dependence Syndrome who are hospitalised to a tertiary care hospital. All patients meeting ICD-10 criteria of Alcohol Dependence Syndrome admitted to our centre will be taken consent for study. All patients who give consent for study will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients remaining after application of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be assigned a random number centrally, not involving the researcher and study participants. A base line assessment of severity of drinking and craving for alcohol will be done by application of scales. Patients who will be assigned random number 5 and its successive numbers obtained after addition of 10 will be administered 10 cycles of tDCS over 5 days with 02 cycles per day of 20 minutes of each cycle. Patients who will be assigned random number 1, 10 and its successive additions of 10 will be given adjunct sham tDCS for equal number of cycles as true tDCS. Change in craving and relapse rates will be assessed again after 01 month and 03 months of initiation of treatment
