TMS = Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
TMS is FDA Approved for Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder.
Completely non-invasive treatment for depression with minimal side effects & no recovery time.
Timed pulses of an MRI-strength magnet targeted to specific, mapped, sites on a patient’s head related to mood regulation.
Magnetic pulses stimulate neuroconnections on the left side of the brain that become less active in the brain of a depressed person.
Treatments stimulate the neuroconnectors, leading to increased activity & symptom reduction. (Please see included PET scan illustrating brain activity before & after TMS). Average treatment schedule & duration: 5 days/week; 45 minutes/day; 12 weeks.
TMS has an average response rate of greater 70% & remission rate greater than 50% when augmenting a current medication regimen with TMS.
