What is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment for depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders, without medication or surgery.

This FDA-approved technology uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, offering relief without the need for medication.

What Can TMS Treat?

TMS has been extensively researched and clinically validated by numerous renowned universities and hospitals around the world, and is shown to be an effective treatment for various brain-related conditions, including:

Depression

Anxiety

Dementia (Alzheimer’s)

Insomnia

Tinnitus

Muscle Pain (Fibromyalgia)

Parkinson’s

Auditory Hallucinations

Stroke Rehabilitation/Treatment

Nerve Pain (Neuralgia)

*Some are off-label treatments: Proven to be effective by medical research, with more research reports and official review coming soon.

“Since I was a child, I have suffered from depression, and I had to rely on antidepressant drugs every day. My condition never went away, and the side effects of the drugs have made my negative emotions worse. Some time ago, I dropped out of school and even engaged in self-harm.

It wasn’t until my psychiatrist suggested I try TMS that my condition took a major turn. After a month of treatment, I began to feel hopeful and more motivated. Now, I’m back in school and finishing my college degree.”

Advantages Of TMS Therapy

Discover why everybody is talking about this revolutionary new treatment technology.

Safe & Non-Invasive

Unlike surgical procedures or treatments requiring anesthesia, TMS therapy is non-invasive and requires no sedation. Patients can remain awake and comfortable throughout the session, experiencing minimal discomfort.

No Systemic Side Effects

Traditional medications for mental health conditions often come with systemic side effects that can affect the entire body. TMS therapy, on the other hand, specifically targets the brain’s regions involved in mood regulation with minimal side effects, typically limited to mild headache or scalp discomfort.

Quick & Convenient Sessions

TMS treatment sessions are typically short, lasting about 30-60 minutes. This allows patients to easily fit sessions into their daily schedule without significant disruption.

Long-Lasting Results

Many patients experience long-lasting relief from their symptoms after completing a TMS treatment course. This enduring effect reduces the need for ongoing medication and therapy.

No Recovery Time Needed

After a TMS session, patients can immediately return to their normal activities, including driving and work, without the need for a recovery period. This is a significant advantage for those who cannot afford time off for extensive treatments.

No Medication Necessary

TMS has shown effectiveness in patients who haven’t responded well to medications. It offers a new avenue of hope for those who have tried traditional treatments without success.

High Success Rate

Clinical studies and patient outcomes have demonstrated the high efficacy of TMS in treating depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders, making it a reliable treatment option.

Safe & Proven

TMS has earned FDA approval through rigorous trials and extensive studies, demonstrating a consistent record of safety and efficacy. This is further supported by countless positive clinical outcomes.

“I’ve always relied on medication to manage my depression, but during episodes, the sadness was so overwhelming that I found myself unable to leave my bed, let alone care for my family…

But everything changed when I began TMS therapy. By the fifth week of treatment, I noticed a distinct shift in my mood. My depression started to lift gradually and consistently. Now, I’m free from the burdensome side effects of psychiatric drugs, and I’ve been able to resume work and cherish quality time with my family.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s answer some common questions and concerns about TMS treatment.

Why Is Navigated TMS Technology So Important? How Does it Differ From Conventional TMS?

Unlike conventional Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) systems, the Navigated TMS system is equipped with precise navigation technology. It integrates digital 3D brain imaging to obtain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the patient’s brain. These images are uploaded to the system, allowing the navigation technology to target specific brain regions for stimulation, rather than relying on guesswork. This results in a more accurate, personalized, effective, and safer TMS treatment for patients.

In contrast, standard TMS systems lack this navigation capability and can only estimate the stimulation site based on specific measurements on the scalp. This makes it more challenging to target other brain areas accurately, leading to higher error margins and potentially less effective treatment.

Has TMS Technology Been Certified for Safety?

TMS technology was approved for the treatment of depression by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008. Numerous large-scale clinical studies have demonstrated that TMS is a non-invasive and effective treatment for depression with a high safety profile.

TMS for other psychiatric and neurological conditions, such as anxiety disorders, neuropathic pain, stroke, tinnitus, and stroke rehabilitation, is supported by clinical research evidence and has received the European CE mark, ensuring its safety.

What is the Duration of the Treatment? What Sensations Will I Experience?

A typical treatment session, including all preparations, takes about 30-60 minutes. Patients sit comfortably in a chair while music and videos are played to help them relax. Patients remain fully conscious and aware throughout the procedure.

During TMS treatment, patients do not experience significant pain. There may be a slight tapping sensation on the scalp, and a few patients might experience mild scalp tenderness. These sensations usually disappear quickly after the treatment. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Are There Any Side Effects or Potential Risks?

Clinical studies have shown that TMS is highly tolerable with virtually no side effects. A minority of patients may experience temporary side effects, including headaches, scalp discomfort, dizziness, and scalp numbness. In very rare cases (about 0.1% chance), patients might experience transient seizures. However, our treatment centers have professional medical teams equipped to handle these situations.

Does TMS Treatment Cause Brain Tumors or Memory Loss?

No. The type and strength of the magnetic field used in TMS are similar to those in Magnetic Resonance (MR) technology, which has been widely used in healthcare worldwide. Millions of patients have undergone MRI with no reported long-term adverse effects.

Who Should Not Undergo TMS Treatment?

Patients with metal implants in or around the head or non-removable metal objects in the head cannot undergo TMS treatment. Those with implanted physiological signal devices like pacemakers or a history of epilepsy are also not suitable for TMS treatment.

How Many Sessions Are Required for Symptom Relief?

In previous clinical studies, most patients underwent TMS treatment five times a week, lasting 19-37 minutes per session, over 4-6 weeks. Typically, patients begin to experience symptom relief in the fourth week. The need for follow-up treatment is determined by the judgment of psychiatrists and clinical psychologists after the course is completed.

Do I Need to Stop Taking Other Psychiatric Medications During TMS Treatment?

In past clinical studies, TMS therapy has been safely used in conjunction with antidepressant medications without adverse consequences. As for the combined use with other psychiatric medications, there is no conclusive research yet. Please discuss this with your psychiatrist before starting treatment.
