Oral topiramate for treatment of alcohol dependence: a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: Topiramate (up to 300 mg per day) is more efficacious than placebo as an adjunct to standardised medication compliance management in treatment of alcohol dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topiramate for Treating Alcohol Dependence: A Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: Topiramate is a promising treatment for alcohol dependence as discussed by the authors, which can improve drinking outcomes among alcohol-dependent individuals by reducing alcohol's reinforcing effects through facilitation of γ-aminobutyric acid function and inhibition of glutaminergic pathways in the corticomesolimbic system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ondansetron for reduction of drinking among biologically predisposed alcoholic patients: A randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: The results suggest that ondansetron (particularly the 4 microg/kg twice per day dosage) is an effective treatment for patients with early-onset alcoholism, presumably by ameliorating an underlying serotonergic abnormality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update on neuropharmacological treatments for alcoholism: scientific basis and clinical findings.

TL;DR: Research continues to explore which types of alcohol-dependent individual would benefit the most from treatment with naltrexone or acamprosate and other promising medications, as well as medication combinations, for treating alcohol dependence continue to be explored.
