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 treatment is a non-invasive treatment proven to be effective for various medical and psychiatric conditions. Patients that are looking for an alternative to medications or can’t take medications for various reasons are eligible for TMS treatment.
Treatment resistant condition refers to a medical condition that couldn’t be eliminated or treated to a desired level with a number of different medically approved approaches. For example, a treatment resistant depression is a depression that hasn’t improved after a treatment with several antidepressants and augmentations.
The TMS treatment was developed in the 1980’s. It has been applied for several decades and it has been approved by FDA for Treatment Resistant Depression. There has been a number of published works presenting evidence of efficacy and safety of the TMS therapy.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is generally safe and well-tolerated. Rarely mild side effects such as headache or transient increase in auditory threshold can occur. In patients who are predisposed to a bipolar disorder, TMS can cause hypomania or mania, if they’re not concurrently treated with a mood stabilizer. Seizure is probably the most serious adverse side effect that can be caused by TMS. Seizures usually happen in predisposed patients, while the predisposing factors are history of seizures, pre-existing neurological disorder, seizure threshold lowering medication and others.
There’s no need to stop your daily medications.
