Is Tms right for you?

What Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain linked to mood regulation. It does not require sedation, medication or surgery, and patients can return to normal activities immediately after each session.
TMS is often recommended when depressive symptoms do not respond adequately to medication.

How TMS Works

How TMS Works

During a TMS session:
  • A small electromagnetic coil is placed gently against the scalp
  • The device delivers focused magnetic pulses
  • These pulses activate underactive brain regions associated with mood
  • Neural pathways gradually strengthen over time
The stimulation is precise, safe and delivered under clinical supervision.

What You May Feel
During Treatment

Patients typically describe:
  • A tapping or clicking sensation on the scalp
  • Mild discomfort that lessens after the first few sessions
  • No cognitive impairment during or after treatment
Sessions usually last 20–30 minutes, and you can resume your day immediately afterward.

Typical Treatment Course

Typical Treatment
Course

A full course of TMS usually involves:
  • Daily sessions (five days per week)
  • For several consecutive weeks
Improvements often develop gradually, and progress is monitored throughout the treatment period.

Safety Profile and
Side Effects

TMS is known for its strong safety record. Common side effects include:
  • Mild scalp discomfort
  • Temporary headache
  • Sensitivity at the stimulation site
Side effects typically decrease as treatment continues. Serious complications are extremely rare.

Effectiveness of TMS

Clinical research demonstrates that TMS can significantly reduce depressive symptoms in individuals who do not improve with medication alone. Many patients report enhancements in mood, sleep and overall functioning, with benefits that may continue after treatment ends.
