What is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy?

TMS therapy is a treatment that uses magnetic fields to alter nerves in your brain associated with mood control. The treatment is approved by the FDA and reduces symptoms of major depression when other treatments haven’t worked to improve your mood.

TMS therapy may also ease symptoms associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and migraines. It appears to help you quit smoking if other treatments haven’t worked.

Is TMS therapy right for me?

Your Foveo Healthcare specialist reviews your medical history and completes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to determine if you’re a candidate for TMS therapy. They ask about your current medications, lifestyle habits, mood, thoughts, emotions, and more before customizing a treatment plan.

What should I expect during TMS therapy?

During TMS treatment at Foveo Healthcare, you rest on a comfortable chair and wear earplugs. Your specialist places an electromagnetic coil against your scalp. It delivers repeated magnetic pulses that stimulate nerve cells in your brain, activating targeted regions.

You might hear rapid tapping sounds during TMS treatment, which could last about 20 minutes or longer. Your specialist adjusts the level of TMS stimulation as needed to optimize comfort and reduce your risk of bothersome side effects.

What happens after TMS therapy?

After treatment, you may experience mild side effects that include scalp tenderness, headaches, tingling, or lightheadedness. However, you can resume typical daily activities afterward. 

To be most effective, TMS therapy often requires a series of treatment sessions carried out daily, five times weekly, for about 4-6 weeks. Your mental health provider lets you know when to schedule your next TMS therapy session.

Over time, you can expect mental health improvements and a better quality of life. Follow up with your provider regularly to complete periodic evaluations and ensure that your treatment plan works effectively.
