During a TMS session, an electromagnetic coil hover above an area of your head and sends out pulsating magnetic fields. These pulses reach about two to three centimetres into the brain, to modulate mood-related neuron activity.
If a person suffers from depression, this biochemistry is often out of balance, and the magnetic pulses generated by TMS can bring everything back into order. However, these pulses do not directly affect the whole brain, only the area directly beneath the treatment coil.
TMS is an outpatient procedure, typically with a treatment course consisting of at least 5 treatments per week over a 4-6 week period. Each session lasts approximately 19 minutes.
Many patients notice positive changes within 3-5 weeks of treatment.
TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a non-invasive FDA-approved treatment that uses electrical currents to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is an effective treatment for major depression and other mental health conditions when traditional treatments like medication and talk therapy have not worked.
TMS uses magnetic pulses to target specific areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. By stimulating brain cells, it helps improve communication between neurons, reducing symptoms of depression and other anxiety disorders.
TMS is covered by a health insurance according to the insurance plan. We will do our best to make the treatment affordable for our patients.
TMS is primarily used for:
Major depression
Anxiety disorders
Other mental health conditions where traditional treatments have failed
TMS is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience:
Mild headache
Scalp discomfort
Lightheadedness
Temporary memory loss (rare)
Unlike antidepressants, TMS does not cause weight gain, drowsiness, or other medication side effects.
No, TMS can be combined with talk therapy, medication, or other mental health care approaches. Your TMS provider will customize a plan based on your needs.
Studies of TMS have examined its therapeutic potential for treating various diseases, with depression being the most thoroughly studied. In the late 1990s, researchers worldwide published more than 20 randomized, controlled trials studying TMS as a depression treatment.
Now, more and more research continues to emerge around the many beneficial uses for TMS, for depression and beyond. Research indicates TMS Therapy to be beneficial in treating depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-
traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, dementia, and more!
