Neuronavigated Non-invasive Brain Stimulation for Nicotine Dependence.
University of Missouri-Columbia
30 participants
Oct 1, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) on different forms of cognitive control in adults who smoke cigarettes, and to determine if the location where cTBS is delivered may help smokers reduce or quit smoking. Participation in the study will take 3-weeks over 4 visits, with a total time commitment of approximately 12 hours.
