TRANSCRANEAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION

WHAT IS TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, also known by its acronym TMS, is the activation of specific parts of the brain by an electromagnetic field that excites the nerve cells in the cerebral cortex. TMS is an effective treatment for various neurological and psychiatric disorders.

HOW WAS TMS CREATED?

In 1985, Anthony Barker activated the cerebral cortex for the first time using a magnetic stimulator externally applied through the skull. This procedure resulted in the emergence of a new technique of treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders.

TMS HAS BEEN PROVEN EFFECTIVE FOR PATIENTS WITH:

  • DEPRESSION: First choice in all types of depression including- depression resistant to treatment with pharmaceutical anti-depressants, bipolar disorder, and post-partum depression.
  • TINNITUS: The sensation of hearing a sound or noise that cannot be attributed to a
    specific internal or external source. In other words, the patient hears a sound such as ringing, whistle, buzz, etc., but there is no reason for it. In this sense, Tinnitus is considered a “phantom auditory perception.”
  • MIGRAINES
  • FIBROMYALGIA: Chronic pain
  • OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  • CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT (STROKE): TMS promotes and facilitates rehabilitation after a stroke regardless of the amount of time elapsed since the CVA.
