NCT ID NCT05152810

First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people quit smoking and avoid relapsing. About 88 adult smokers who have tried and failed to quit before will receive either real or fake TMS sessions, first daily then weekly, to reduce cravings. The goal is to see if this approach leads to long-term abstinence, verified by breath tests.
