TMS Therapy in the News
Every life matters, we are here to help
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy : During a treatment session, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. These magnetic pulses are known have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission possible.
What is TMS Therapy?
TMS Therapy for treatment-resistant depression
It is an outpatient treatment that uses magnetic stimulation to hone in on areas of the brain that cause symptoms of depression. During your treatments, you can anticipate a process similar to the one outlined below.
Before Treatment
You’ll recline comfortably in the treatment chair. A small, curved magnetic coil will be positioned lightly on your head.
During Treatment
TMS delivers focused magnetic stimulation directly to the target areas of the brain. You’ll hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head.
After Treatment
TMS Therapy: Depending on your doctor’s recommendation, each treatment takes between 19 and 37 minutes.
Because there are no effects on alertness or memory, you can drive yourself to and from treatment sessions.
