Alcohol Cessation
One of the most acceptable drugs to consume in India is alcohol. A 2009 study published in Lancet estimates that 21% of men and 2% women in India consume alcohol; but, there are at least 14 million who are addicted to it, to the detriment of their physical, mental and personal lives.
Treatment of alcohol addiction is done with medicines and adjunctive therapy. However, relapse rates are high and frequent.
Smoking Cessation
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and a global public health concern. Tobacco use leads most commonly to diseases affecting the lungs, with smoking being a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and various types of cancers
Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, which is addictive.
There have been limited options for treatment including therapy and medication.
Treatment of addiction with rTMS:
The new FDA-approved TMS procedure is proving to be a breakthrough for patients struggling with addictions.
TMS is a non-invasive method using magnetic field application to stimulate the areas of the brain involved in addiction and relapse. High-frequency TMS application has not only decreased the number of the amount of substance consumed, but also decreased the relapse rates significantly.
