Nicotine TMS EFT Smoking Pilot Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Prior and recent evidence suggests a role of medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) in cigarette smoking. Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) has also been shown to be associated with increased delayed discounting and reduced cigarette self administration. In the present study, we will examine whether a single administration of theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (tbTMS) can increase Episodic Future Thinking and delayed discounting while reducing craving for nicotine.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to develop theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (tbTMS) as a potential treatment for nicotine addiction. Theta burst TMS is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to temporarily stimulate specific brain areas in awake people (without the need for surgery, anesthetic, or other invasive procedures). This study will test whether tbTMS over the forehead can produce a reduction in things that may prompt individuals to want to smoke cigarettes. TMS has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as an investigational tool as well as a therapy for depression. However, TMS is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for nicotine cravings and other addictions.

This study consists of one consent session and one TMS session. Participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires and computer assessments about nicotine both before and after a single tbTMS session. ;
