Understanding Smoking Cessation Treatment with TMS in New Mexico

The insula plays a key role in addiction cravings and interoceptive awareness. Deep TMS targeting the bilateral insula disrupts craving circuits, reducing the urge to smoke.

TMS for smoking cessation has been FDA-cleared since 2020. 19 TMS clinics are listed in New Mexico; ask each clinic whether it treats smoking cessation and which insurance it accepts.

How TMS Treats Smoking Cessation

TMS therapy targets the bilateral insula and prefrontal cortex using BrainsWay Deep TMS with H4 coil. A magnetic coil placed against the scalp delivers focused pulses that stimulate neurons in this region, promoting neuroplasticity over the course of treatment.
