According to a recent study published in journal Addiction, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) may increase smoking abstinence rates 3 to 6 months after quitting, compared with usual treatment.
The researchers examined numerous scientific databases for randomized controlled studies of NIBS on adult smokers wanting to quit smoking with a follow-up of more than 4 weeks, then pooled the results to determine the overall effect of NIBS on smoking cessation.
NIBS is a technique of interest for both short-term and sustained smoking cessation of which the two most frequent types are tDCS and tMS.
NIBS has arisen as a novel therapy alternative for alcohol use disorder and other substance-related and addictive illnesses in recent years.
