Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method that uses a magnetic field to influence brain activity. TMS devices affect central nervous system activity by applying powerful magnetic fields to specific areas of the brain to influence the brain’s electrical activity.
TMS has shown potential therapeutic benefit in the central nervous system in a wide variety of disease states in neurology and mental health, with research still evolving. Another major benefit is that there is strong evidence to suggest that TMS therapy is safe in pregnant women or family planning. Diseases that TMS is licenced or can help include, but are not limited to:
- Migraine and headaches
- Depression and anxiety
- Obsessive compulsive disorder
- Smoking cessation
- Addictions
- Eating disorders
- Chronic pain
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Stroke
- Fibromyalgia
- Traumatic brain injury
