Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive and safe treatment for depression, OCD, anxiety, chronic pain and various other psychological and neurological conditions at MindfulTMS. We exclusively offer rTMS as our primary modality for treatment, ensuring you receive the most advanced and tailored care available.

rTMS uses magnetic pulses to increase or inhibit activity of specific areas of the brain that are not functioning normally.

For example, in the case of depression, the brain activity is decreased. With targeted rTMS, the activity in these areas increases.

How rTMS works?

img
  • Coil Placement: A healthcare professional places the rTMS coil on your head, targeting the specific brain area based on your condition.
    img
  • Stimulate Brain Cells: The magnetic pulses help activate or regulate the brain cells (neurons) in those regions where the coil is targeted
    img
  • Boost Brain Activity: For conditions like Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), some brain areas may be less active. The pulses help increase activity in these areas, improving your mood.
    img
  • Promote Brain Flexibility:  Your brain can change and adapt, a feature called neuroplasticity, but it takes time. By giving 25-30 sessions over 5-6 weeks, the magnetic pulses encourage your brain to form new, healthier connections and maintain them, which can help reduce symptoms of your condition.
