Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Smoking Cessation in People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA)

Gopalkumar Rakesh·interventional·Posted Mar 25, 2022·Updated Oct 22, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating TBS and Sham TMS for Hiv and Tobacco Smoking. Completed, enrolled 4 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

To demonstrate whether four sessions of TBS improves attentional bias and craving in PLWHA smokers compared to four sessions of sham stimulation. We hypothesize 4 sessions of TBS to the left DLPFC will significantly improve attentional bias and craving for smoking cues compared to neutral cues in a population of subjects who are smokers with HIV/AIDS compared to sham stimulation.
