Brain stimulation and smoking: finding personalized treatments
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people who smoke reduce cravings or change smoking behavior. You'll also have your brain activity recorded with a cap (EEG) and do some vaping tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 21 and 60 years old.
- You currently smoke at least 5 cigarettes (or small cigars) a day.
