Medications and talk therapy may have limited effects in the treatment of depression, but there is hope. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been shown to be an effective form of treatment for depression. TMS may help by stimulating a part of the brain that is involved in moods and emotions, without any memory loss or […]

This is not electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and does not cause memory loss or harmful side effects. TMS Therapy – What to Expect During TMS therapy for depression, a patient sits in a […]

TMS Therapy is FDA-approved as a safe and effective treatment for major depressive disorder. It’s a popular choice of treatment for people who haven’t found relief from their depression symptoms through therapy or medication since it has no side effects like other treatments do. TMS therapy works by delivering electromagnetic micropulses to your scalp which […]

TMS Therapy Near Me TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive treatment administered to patients who suffer from an advanced level of depression. These patients usually have not responded to other treatments and are now subjected to a treatment that involves direct brain stimulation to control the symptoms of depression. The stimulation is done using […]

The  TMS Therapy system generates highly concentrated, magnetic fields which turn on and off very rapidly. These magnetic fields are the same type and strength as those produced by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. The treatment coil is applied to the head above the left prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain is involved […]

TMS was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2008 after being tested on over one hundred patients. TMS uses a metal coil placed on the scalp to generate rapidly changing magnetic fields. The induced electric currents cross the skull nearly unimpeded and depolarize cortical neurons in a specific location.  TMS Therapy Actually […]

The TMS Therapy system uses magnetic pulses to generate intense, fast fields comparable to those generated by MRI machines. The treatment coil is positioned on the head over the left prefrontal cortex, which regulates mood and therefore is the location where these fields are concentrated. The treatment coil only reaches 2-3cm into your brain; the […]

Understanding TMS Therapy  With TMS therapy, the brain’s emotional centers are stimulated. While ECT does not cause memory loss or other harmful side effects, TMS therapy for depression does. This therapy does not cause memory loss or other harmful side effects.  TMS Therapy for Depression is Available Patients with depression receive TMS therapy while sitting […]
