Understanding Smoking Cessation Treatment with TMS in Broken Arrow

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, making it a well-established treatment option. In Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, providers offer this treatment with insurance coverage available through most major plans.

How TMS Treats Smoking Cessation — The Science

TMS therapy targets the bilateral insula and prefrontal cortex using BrainsWay Deep TMS with H4 coil. During each session, a magnetic coil placed against your scalp delivers focused pulses that stimulate neurons in this region. Over the course of treatment, this repeated stimulation promotes neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form new neural connections and restore healthy patterns of activity.

• Sessions: 18 sessions over 6 weeks
• Duration: 19-37 minutes per session depending on protocol
