HOW DOES IT WORK?

TMS is a series of repetitive, brief, and highly focused magnetic pulses designed to stimulate brain cells. In depressed patients, the electrical activity in certain areas of the brain is shown to be reduced.

TMS targeted in these areas reawakens these cells to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity during depression.

FDA approved for: Depression, OCD, migraines and smoking cessation.

FAQ’s

  • TMS is typically prescribed when antidepressants have failed, or the side effects are intolerable.

    Antidepressants are systemic, which means that the medication is absorbed into the blood stream. This can cause numerous side effects. TMS is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure with no systemic side effects.

  • TMS is a safe and well tolerated treatment that is not associated with any of the systemic side effects typically experienced with antidepressants. Clinical studies show that the most common side effects are mild to moderate scalp discomfort and mild headaches, both of which are short term.

  • In the US, TMS therapy is approved for adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.
