Assessment of Energetic Resonance by Cutaneous Stimulation on Withdrawal Alcohol Symptoms.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of RESC study is to assess the efficacy of Energetic Resonance by Cutaneous Stimulation on alcohol withdrawal symptoms measured by CUSHMAN score and in a second time to measure the benzodiazepine amount prescribed during the withdrawal time.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cushman Score measure after Energetic Resonance by Cutaneous Stimulation | CUSHMAN score is represented by a scale with 7 variables collecting physiological modifications or behavioural manifestations related to adrenergic answer, neurovegetative signs, confusion, nervousness, perceptive or hallucinatory phenomena. | daily during one week |
