Clinical trials: rTMS Stimulation
Smoking
Implementation of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Smoking Cessation
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an alternative non-invasive treatment to help people quit smoking. rTMS uses a magnetic field to stimulate regions of the brain that are involved in addiction.
