TMS for Smoking Cessation: Frequently Asked Questions
How does TMS stop smoking cravings?
Brainsway Deep TMS targets the insula and prefrontal cortex—the areas of the brain responsible for addiction and cravings. By dampening the activity in these circuits, TMS reduces the physical urge to smoke, making it easier to quit permanently.
How long does the treatment take?
The smoking cessation protocol is typically shorter than depression treatment. Most courses involve daily sessions for about 3 weeks, followed by a taper period, compared to the 6-week protocol for depression.
Is this more effective than nicotine patches?
Clinical data suggests that Deep TMS combined with standard support has higher long-term abstinence rates than nicotine replacement therapy alone, especially for heavy smokers who have failed to quit multiple times.
