Tobacco smoking remains a leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (DTMS) using the H4 coil targets addiction-related circuits within the bilateral insula and prefrontal cortex and has demonstrated safety and efficacy in reducing smoking craving. However,…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an emerging treatment for several mental health conditions including substance use disorders. Symptom provocation before rTMS is hypothesized to activate disease-related neurocircuitry and enhance treatment effects. For addiction, craving induction is frequently used before treatment, but…
In 2020, Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) gained FDA clearance for short-term smoking cessation, demonstrating efficacy comparable to pharmacotherapies with minimal side effects. Objective: This Phase IV registry study aimed to assess the real-world feasibility and efficacy of Deep TMS for…
Cue-Restricted Smoking (CRS) is a behavioral technique for smoking cessation that has shown efficacy as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy. In CRS, individuals limit smoking to a standing position while facing a wall in an isolated environment devoid of sensory stimulation. Objective: This…
Current approved therapies for smoking cessation have modest long-term effects for abstinence. The insular cortex has been identified by preclinical and clinical studies as a critical target for addiction treatment. Insula functions can be modulated non-invasively using brain stimulation. Objective: To describe a protocol for deep repetitive…
