TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Magstim TMS Therapy is a new treatment cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients suffering from depression who have not achieved satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant treatment. TMS stands for “transcranial magnetic stimulation.”
TMS Therapy is a treatment that can be performed in a psychiatrist’s office, under his or her supervision, using a medical device called the Magstim TMS Therapy system. Magstim TMS Therapy is:
- Non-invasive, meaning that it does not involve surgery. It does not require any anesthesia or sedation, as the patient remains awake and alert during the treatment
- Non-systemic, meaning that it is not taken by mouth and does not circulate in the blood stream throughout the body.
- The typical treatment course consists of a total of 36 treatments. Treatments are done 5 days a week over a 6-9 week period. Each treatment session lasts 19 minutes.
