CAN NEURAL STIMULATION ZAP ADDICTION?

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has shown encouraging results in clinical trials involving people addicted to various substances. The treatment has already been authorized in the US, Canada, and the EU as an aid for cigarette smokers trying to quit. Researchers are currently studying different forms of TMS that may be able to rewire the brain of people with addictions more effectively. Some treatments are currently waiting for regulatory approval. One of the downsides of TMS is the cost, which many health insurance providers do not cover.
