TMS for Smoking Addiction consists of a patented H-Coil, held inside a cushioned helmet fitted onto the patient’s head.

During a TMS session, the H-Coil produces repetitive, painless magnetic pulses that regulate the brain’s neural activity. The stimulation activates nerve cells in these regions of the brain and assists in smoking cessation.

The Smoking Cessation Process

TMS therapy for quitting smoking includes a few steps. First, a short session provokes the urge to smoke to activate certain areas of the brain. This is followed by an 18-minute TMS session and a brief counseling session. Usually, the full treatment lasts for three weeks with daily sessions, and then once a week for three more weeks, making a total of 18 sessions over six weeks. It’s best to plan to quit smoking within the first two weeks of starting treatment.
Many people manage to stop smoking during the initial phase, and the following sessions help keep them smoke-free.
