First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests a painless, non-surgical 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 to a deep brain area or a fake (sham) treatment during a single session. Researchers will measure cravings and vaping volume during the session and track participants for one week after to see if the effects last.
