Craving Induction and Treatment Response in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Tobacco Use Disorder
Craving induction reliably increased craving, although the magnitude of cue-induced craving was not associated with end-of-trial smoking cessation. This finding suggests that greater craving induction does not predict greater therapeutic effect of rTMS. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and clinical implications of rTMS and brain state in TUD, including potential improvements in related domains such as inhibitory control.
