Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, pain-free, safe and innovative form of treatment for Depression. During TMS sessions, an electromagnetic coil is placed on the head. The coil uses a magnetic field to produce electrical current, modulating neural activity in cortical regions and associated neural circuits. This can result in activating neural circuits and enhanced their connectivity, which can lead to alleviating depression

Yes. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, pain-free and safe treatment approach. The FDA approved TMS for Depression and OCD.

TMS works based on repetitive stimulating part of the brain called Prefrontal Cortex. There are research trials showing reduced activity and connectivity between the areas of this site of the brain in patients with depression. TMS can enhance the activity and connectivity of prefrontal cortex and the associated areas, so that improving depressive symptoms. Repetitive TMS may also act by stimulating neuroplasticity. This may lead to increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and to structural changes, such as increased hippocampal volume.

Following the invention of TMS in 1985, the FDA approved it for Treatment-Resistant Depression in 2008 and later on for OCD.

Other neuropsychiatric disorders that have been treated with TMS include Bipolar Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD), chronic neuropathic pain, Parkinson disease, smoking cessation, stroke rehabilitation and post-stroke depression.
