RTMS Targets Neural Circuits for Smoking Cessation (NCT04903028)
RTMS Manipulates Imbalanced Drive-reward and Executive Control Circuitry for Smoking Cessation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Cigarette smoking is a significant public health concern. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that has already displayed remarkable potential for producing novel, non-pharmacological interventions for depression and cigarette smokers. In this study, investigators will use brain MRI to guide TMS therapy for smoking cessation.
