Brain stimulation for nicotine addiction treatment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests different targets for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-surgical brain stimulation—to change brain “reward” activity in people who are nicotine dependent. If you qualify, you may receive sessions of brain stimulation as the researchers look for the best brain target.
This trial tests whether combining brain stimulation (tDCS) with a smoking cessation medication (varenicline) helps people quit smoking. You would attend daily visits for two weeks.
This study tests different pulse patterns of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain stimulation, to see which one best increases activity in brain reward circuits. It may help people who are dependent on nicotine.
This trial tests if a type of brain stimulation (TMS) can help people with nicotine dependence reduce cravings. It may be an option if you smoke or use e-cigarettes heavily and want to understand how your brain responds to treatment.
This trial tests whether direct brain electrical stimulation can help people who use tobacco every day. You must have strong nicotine dependence and be able to follow the study in French, while avoiding certain health and safety conditions.
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.
