Reducing Tobacco Smoking: a Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) Telehealth Study
Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) as a tool to decreasing distress and cigarette smoking. 46 participants currently smoking cigarettes, and seeking to decrease cigarette use will be recruited.

Conditions
Interventions
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS is noninvasive brain stimulation device that modulates brain activity by delivering a low-intensity electrical current (2.0 mA) through sponge electrodes placed on the scalp.
Mindfulness
Participants will follow an audio track for guided mindfulness during the stimulation.
Sham - Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
The tDCS device is programmed to mimic active tDCS.
