Non-invasive brain stimulation to help quit smoking
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
