Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Here are some bullet points to explain TMS:
- TMS uses a coil that is placed over the scalp to deliver magnetic pulses to the brain.
- These pulses create small electric currents that can stimulate or inhibit the activity of the brain cells, depending on the frequency and intensity of the pulses.
- TMS is often used to treat depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric disorders by targeting specific areas of the brain that are thought to be involved in these conditions.
- TMS can also be used to study brain function and to map out the connections between different areas of the brain.
- TMS is considered a safe and well-tolerated treatment with minimal side effects, although some patients may experience headaches, dizziness, or other mild discomfort during or after treatment.
- TMS sessions typically last about 30 minutes and are administered daily for several weeks.
- TMS can be used in combination with other treatments, such as medication or psychotherapy, to improve treatment outcomes.
- TMS is currently FDA-approved for the treatment of depression, OCD, and migraines, and is being investigated for its potential use in a variety of other conditions.
