Innovation and results in the treatment of depression
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. In the context of depression, TMS is used to treat patients who have not responded to drug treatments despite several attempts. TMS has also been shown to be useful in a variety of other neurological and psychiatric conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.
How does EMT work?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique that improves connections within neural circuits.
It is based on the idea that certain patterns of electrical activity in the brain may be altered in people with depression. Magnetic stimulation targets areas of the brain known to be involved in mood and emotional regulation, such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. This process can influence the neuronal activity in these areas, helping to restore a balance that can improve the symptoms of depression.
(TMS is FDA approved for the treatment of major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.)
