The participants were randomly chosen to receive either n-acetyl cysteine or placebo for six weeks. The researchers found that 60 percent of the participants reported having less urges to gamble. Additionally, 13 out of the 16 participants who responded to the amino acid the first time around agreed to continue in the double-blind study for an additional six …
