Measure
Active rTMS
5 sessions of rTMS delivered with MagPro (MagVenture) double blind rTMS system delivered at 110% of resting motor threshold with 3000 pulses of 10hz stimulation (5s on, 10s off) per session. Active rTMS with MagVenture MagPro double blind rTMS system: 5 sessions of rTMS delivered with MagPro (MagVenture) double blind rTMS system delivered at 110% of resting motor threshold with 3000 pulses of 10hz stimulation (5s on, 10s off) per session.
Sham
5 session of sham rTMS delivered with Magpro (MagVenture) double blind rTMS system to mimic active intervention. Sham rTMS: Double blind MagPro system delivers sham condition by mimicking rTMS sound and delivering skin stimulus via TENS pads

3 Participants

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During the one day visit

Nicotine craving evaluated using Questionnaire on Smoking Urges- Brief (QSU-B) questions modified to a 0-100 analog rating. Higher scores meaning a higher level of craving.

Decrease in Cue Induced Nicotine Craving
-4.65 Percent change on craving scale
Interval -10.0 to 0.7
-7.6 Percent change on craving scale
Interval -21.3 to 3.3

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 week and 2 weeks after rTMS

Population: Participants did not return follow up phone call

An exploratory outcome will be the determination if participants receiving active rTMS report decreased levels of smoking 1 week and 2 weeks after rTMS course.
