Effectiveness of Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Behavioral Intervention in Tobacco Cessation—A Tertiary Hospital-Based Randomized Controlled Trial
Combination therapy (BI + NRT) is more effective than BI alone. The BI + patch combination is more effective than BI + gum and BI alone. The NRT intervention groups had higher abstinence rates and reduced relapses than the standard BI group. Further studies are required to validate these findings.
