TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive, personalized brain stimulation technique that uses magnetic fields to modulate electrical activity in specific regions of the brain.
It can be used for the treatment of depression and other psychiatric and neurological conditions. The treatment involves placing an electromagnetic coil over a small area of a client’s head, and repeated electromagnetic pulses administered in rapid succession produce long-lasting changes in brain activity, alleviating symptoms.
Session duration varies depending on the treatment protocol and can last from a few minutes up to an hour. Clients may resume their daily activities after TMS treatment.
TMS is a safe clinical procedure that does not require anesthesia, as individuals typically only feel a light pulsing or tapping sensation on their head, and with minimal side effects that if present are mild and temporary.
