    About This Study

    The purpose of this study is to find out if transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) is easy to use at home. We also want to find out how well it works for reducing distress and decreasing cigarette use. TDCS is a form of brain stimulation. This type of stimulation is done outside of the body. The largest risk with this study is minor discomfort such as warmth, itching or tingling sensation during treatment.

    Cancer survivors who smoke cigarettes every day. Study involves 25 sessions done in your own home. This will take about 10 weeks. The study team will discuss study details with you.
