Study summary

We aimed to test the efficacy of robot-assisted intelligent rehabilitation treatment in patients with alcohol use disorders with a randomized controlled trial. Specifically, the objective of this trial is to determine whether the robot-assisted intelligent rehabilitation treatment plus treatment as usual has greater efficacy than traditional therapy in the treatment of alcohol use disorders.

Read the detailed description

Based on artificial intelligence technology, face recognition technology, and virtual reality technology to develop an available Robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent system. Then, using this intelligent system as a new way of Psychotherapy to provide treatment for patients with alcohol use disorders, and compare with traditional treatment to verify the efficacy and safety of the Robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent system in Chinese patients with alcohol use disorders.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent treatment

    Both groups will receive treatment as usual(TAU) provided by the clinical team, including medication, exercise, and psychotherapy. Robot-assisted intelligent rehabilitation treatment will be delivered to participants in the testing group through an addiction prevention and relapse intervention intelligent system.

    Device: robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent treatment · Other: treatment as usual

  • Other
    treatment as usual

    Participants in the treatment-as-usual group were offered standard treatment at the mental health hospitals, which consisted of group and/or individual therapy, as determined by the clinical team.

    Other: treatment as usual

Interventions

  • Devicerobot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent treatment

    Participants assigned to this condition were offered 10 individual sessions of robot-assisted rehabilitation treatment, delivered by the Robot-assisted rehabilitation intelligent system. The system contains 10 core cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skill topics (such as functional analysis, coping skills training, reviewing practice exercises, and explaining CBT concepts). A robot therapist demonstrates the target CBT skills and assigns homework to participants. The treatment framework is semi-structured through human-computer interaction. The forms of interaction include inquiries, statements, recommendations summaries, and knowledge assessments.

  • Othertreatment as usual

    Both groups will receive treatment as usual, including medication, exercise, and psychological education.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2023, 18 months after the start.

Of 459 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Alcoholism, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 56. This study's planned 18 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 482 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 54.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 9, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
