Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of better mental health treatments. Its journey from experimental curiosity to FDA-approved therapy for depression is a compelling story of scientific progress.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) employs a magnetic pulse similar to that of an MRI machine to stimulate specific brain regions non-invasively. The magnetic pulses induce electrical currents in the neurons, modulating neural activity and potentially leading to symptom improvement in various neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions.
Types of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS):
Brain Wellness Center’s approach to TMS therapy stands out for its commitment to precision, individualization, and the utilization of cutting-edge equipment. By incorporating qEEG Functional Brain Mapping and the latest TMS technology, the center can offer patients a superior treatment experience with the potential for enhanced clinical outcomes. This approach represents a significant advancement in the field of neuromodulation and offers new hope to individuals seeking relief from neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is generally considered safe, and most patients tolerate it well. However, like any medical procedure, there can be side effects. Here is a list of potential side effects associated with TMS:
It’s important to note that the majority of TMS side effects are mild and temporary, often occurring only during or shortly after a session. Patients undergoing TMS treatment are closely monitored by trained healthcare professionals to ensure their safety and well-being. Any concerns or side effects should be promptly reported to the treating clinician to address and manage appropriately. TMS is generally well-tolerated and considered a safe treatment option for various neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions.
