First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people who vape nicotine daily to cut back. Forty adults aged 18-65 who vape regularly will receive either real or fake tDCS for 10 sessions over two weeks. Researchers will measure changes in vaping frequency and cravings at the end of treatment and again at 1 and 3 months later.
