What Is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder, especially for individuals who have not found relief from antidepressant medications. The treatment targets specific brain regions involved in mood regulation to help improve symptoms.
The TMS Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Mapping
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment to confirm that TMS is an appropriate option for you. During your first session, our team will perform a brain mapping procedure to identify the precise location and energy level for your treatment. This ensures the magnetic pulses are delivered to the exact area for optimal effectiveness.
During Your Daily Sessions
Tms therapy involves a series of sessions, typically scheduled five days a week for several weeks. During each appointment, you will relax in a comfortable chair while a small magnetic coil is positioned over your head. You will hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
Conscious and Alert Treatment
You will remain awake and alert throughout the entire session, which usually lasts about 20 to 40 minutes. There is no need for anesthesia or sedation. You can read, listen to music, or simply relax during the treatment.
Resuming Normal Activities
Immediately following each session, you can return to your normal daily activities, including driving. Because tms is non-systemic and non-sedating, it does not have the side effects commonly associated with antidepressant medications. This allows you to continue with your day without interruption.
