Clinical trials: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Nicotine Dependence
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for Nicotine Addiction
Cigarette smoking remains a significant public health concern. A magnetic field applied to the outside of the skull can produce electrical activity in the brain without significant pain or the need for anesthesia.

Suicidal Ideation
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as Treatment for Acute Suicidality in Adult Patients
Suicide was responsible for almost 40,000 deaths in 2011 in America. It is still singularly difficult to predict who is going to commit suicide and how to establish adequate interventions.
