What is TMS

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive out-patient based procedure used for the treatment of different mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. It is also successfully used for neuro-rehabilitation.

TMS relies on the generation of brief magnetic fields created by an insulated coil that is placed over the scalp. These magnetic fields, in turn, create weak electric currents in the brain that achieve brain stimulation by activating neural circuitry at the site of stimulation.

By stimulating brain circuits, TMS aims to reset neural circuits and induce a change in their activity in order to bring about an improvement in conditions such as depression and anxiety.

This approach seeks to modulate and rebalance brain function, offering individuals a potential path towards improved mental health and well-being.

With its non-invasive nature and proven efficacy, TMS stands as a remarkable innovation in the field of neuromodulation, paving the way for alternative treatment options and improved patient outcomes.
