Quit smoking from your couch: teleconsultation put to the test
NCT ID NCT07737288
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether video-based teleconsultation counseling can help people stop smoking as effectively as traditional face-to-face clinic visits. About 68 adults who smoke will receive either teleconsultation or in-person counseling, with researchers tracking quit rates, cravings, and relapses over six months. The goal is to see if remote support can be a practical alternative for those who find it hard to attend clinic appointments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- teleconsultation counseling for smoking cessation
- What this could lead to
- If effective, teleconsultation could offer a convenient, accessible alternative to in-person smoking cessation support, potentially helping more people quit.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply broadly. Teleconsultation may lack the personal connection of face-to-face visits, and quitting success depends on many factors.
