Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

What is TMS?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe, painless therapy that can help treat mental health disorders. TMS is noninvasive and doesn’t require an anesthetic or sedation. You’re awake and alert throughout the treatment and can continue your usual activities afterward.

 

TMS uses magnets, much like the ones you find in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machines. The TMS device transmits short pulses of magnetic energy into areas of your brain involved in mood regulation.

 

These magnetic pulses go through your skull to the targeted parts of your brain, stimulating underactive brain cells. TMS encourages connections to form between the cells that help improve your mood.

Non-Medication Treatment

Who Can TMS Help?

You might benefit from a TMS treatment if you have depression and other treatments aren’t helping. Depression causes intense, persistent sadness and feelings of hopelessness, self-loathing, and despair.

 

This common mental health condition may become so severe patients can’t enjoy anything in their lives. You might be unable to work, have problems sleeping, and find every day endlessly bleak. Many people feel so ill with depression that they consider suicide. Two treatments that can help with depression are medication and talk therapy.

 

Medication helps rebalance the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that control your mood. Interpersonal psychotherapy enables you to work through traumas and problems that trigger or worsen depression, while cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches you to alter negative thought processes.

 

These treatments are successful for many people. However, some find they don’t help, and others suffer unpleasant medication side effects. If you have problems like these, the Nurocoach team might recommend TMS, which can help with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

The Process

Receiving Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment at Nurocoach is a structured and straightforward process designed to ensure patient comfort and maximize therapeutic outcomes. Below is a step-by-step outline of what you can expect:

TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and other mental health conditions.

TMS works by placing an electromagnetic coil against the patient’s scalp near the forehead. This coil generates magnetic pulses that pass through the skull, inducing small electrical currents in specific brain regions associated with mood regulation.

Yes, TMS is considered safe and has minimal systemic side effects. The most common side effect is a slight headache, which usually resolves quickly.

Candidates for TMS include individuals with major depressive disorder who have not responded to traditional therapies, those experiencing treatment-resistant depression, and individuals with certain anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, or bipolar depression.

Each TMS session typically lasts between 15-20 minutes.

The typical course of TMS treatment involves five sessions per week for 4-6 weeks, though this may vary based on individual needs and response to treatment.

During a TMS session, you may hear clicking sounds and feel a light tapping on your scalp from the magnetic pulses, but it should not be painful.

TMS has shown to be effective in significantly reducing symptoms of depression, with approximately half of patients experiencing complete recovery after a full course of treatment.

No, you do not need to stop your current medications. TMS can be used as an adjunctive treatment alongside other therapies and medications.

Anxiety is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation that includes a detailed patient history, physical examination, and psychological assessments.

Common symptoms include persistent worry, fear or apprehension, rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances.

Yes, anxiety is treatable through a combination of therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication, lifestyle changes, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and alternative treatments like mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

Medication can help manage the symptoms of anxiety, making it easier for patients to engage in therapy and make lifestyle changes.

Yes, occasional anxiety is a normal part of life and can help you stay alert and focused. However, when anxiety becomes chronic and interferes with daily activities, it may require professional intervention.
