Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Q & A

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy is a new, noninvasive procedure that’s FDA-cleared for treating a variety of conditions, including treatment-resistant depression. TMS uses brief pulses of magnetic fields to stimulate cells in areas of your brain associated with mood regulation.

TMS therapy is especially helpful for patients with mental health conditions and neurological disorders who don’t experience sufficient relief from conventional treatments like medications and talk therapy. TMS therapy to treat numerous neurological and mental health conditions, including:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Bipolar disorder
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Tinnitus
• Migraines

TMS therapy can also treat hallucinations due to conditions like schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. 

Medications, such as antidepressants, are often the first line of treatment in managing symptoms of mental health conditions. However, medications don’t provide enough relief for some people, and others can’t tolerate the side effects. TMS therapy is an alternative treatment that significantly reduces symptoms of depression and other mental health disorders, even in patients who haven’t found relief from medication and talk therapy alone. 

TMS therapy as an outpatient procedure, which means you don’t have to stay in the hospital. Unlike other therapies for treatment-resistant depression,  you can drive yourself to and from a TMS appointment. The noninvasive procedure happens while you relax in a chair.  Treatment typically lasts 10- 25 minutes and doesn’t cause adverse side effects. The number of treatments you need depends on your specific condition. Research shows that more than 75% of patients with depression experience improvement, and more than 50% enter remission after 22 TMS treatments.
