Zapping the brain to stub out cigarettes in HIV patients
NCT ID NCT05295953
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This small study tested whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS could help people living with HIV/AIDS who smoke reduce their cravings and attention to smoking cues. Four participants received either real or fake (sham) TMS sessions. The goal was to see if real TMS could improve focus away from smoking and lower cravings. The study was completed but very small, so results are limited.
