NCT ID NCT07210268
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 04, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference (TI) to see if it can reduce nicotine cravings and vaping. 120 adults who vape heavily will receive either real TI stimulation to a deep brain area linked to addiction or a fake (sham) stimulation. The goal is to see if this gentle scalp zap can lower cravings and actual nicotine use right after the session and over the next week.
