Theta-burst Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TBS) of the Right Inferior Frontal Gyrus for Treatment of Nicotine Dependence
Sponsor: University of Missouri-Columbia
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of theta-burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on inhibitory control and smoking among adult cigarette smokers. In a double-blind, sham controlled trial, investigators will examine the effects of 12 sessions of cTBS on executive function and smoking behavior.

Continuous Theta-burst stimulation (cTBS)
Theta-burst stimulation (TBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), affects brain areas stimulated directly underneath the scalp and brain areas that are functionally connected. Continuous TBS (cTBS) which is thought to temporarily dampen brain activity in that specific area.
Sham Continuous Theta-burst stimulation (cTBS)
Sham cTBS, inhibitory-like patterned form of TMS.
