It's not for those with brain injury, metal in the head, seizures, bad reactions to TMS before, pregnant women or individuals with schizophrenia.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests whether four sessions of accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TBS) can reduce cravings and attentional bias towards smoking cues compared to sham (fake) stimulation in people with HIV/AIDS who smoke.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While side effects are not detailed here, common ones from TMS include headache or discomfort at the stimulation site. There might be a risk of seizure although it's rare.
