Introduction: The World Health Organization reports that cigarette smoking is responsible for over 8 million deaths yearly. There is increasing evidence in the literature that alternative therapies such as bioresonance, acupuncture, and hypnosis are effective in smoking cessation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and results of bioresonance therapy for smoking cessation. Methods: A total of 1272 patients who applied to Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine, Family Medicine Smoking Cessation Polyclinic for bioresonance treatment between October 2010 and September 2019 were included in this study. These patients were treated with bioresonance therapy for a total of 3 sessions per month to quit smoking. Results: MORA bioresonance therapy (MORA BT) was the most preferred method of quitting smoking in the group that succeeded on the 3rd day, 7th day, 15th day, 1st month and 2nd months. However, there were no statistically significant differences between the successful and unsuccessful groups. No significant difference was found when MORA BT was compared with all other treatment methods (p=0.132). Conclusion: This study presents the first protocol to compare bioresonance therapy with other smoking cessation treatments in a large sample group, based on fagerstrom nicotine addiction test scores in Turkey. Bioresonance therapy was found to be effective in smoking cessation, which increases the importance of the study and shows that bioresonance therapy is very effective in smoking cessation.
