This trial tests a new method called temporal interference to stimulate the brain and help people who vape nicotine reduce their addiction. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can make it easier to quit.
This study tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help long-term smokers quit. You'll receive a safe magnetic pulse to brain areas linked to cravings, and researchers track your progress.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS can help people with psychiatric conditions quit smoking. You will be randomly assigned to get either rTMS or a nicotine patch, and your progress will be tracked to see which treatment works better.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help people who vape daily cut back. You would attend daily sessions for two weeks to see if it makes a difference.
