What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure used primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other conditions like anxiety disorders. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not involve ingesting any substances. Instead, it uses focused magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain's prefrontal cortex, an area often associated with depression. This targeted stimulation can help restore normal brain activity patterns, leading to improved mood and overall well-being.
How Does TMS Work at TMS of the Carolinas?
At our Raleigh practice, our experienced clinicians utilize state-of-the-art TMS equipment. The procedure involves a specialized device that generates magnetic pulses. A small device, called a coil, is placed gently against the patient's scalp near the forehead. These pulses create a magnetic field that passes through the skull and into the brain, precisely targeting specific areas identified as underactive during the patient's evaluation.
Patients typically remain awake and alert throughout the TMS session, which usually lasts between 20 to 40 minutes. They may listen to music or engage in light conversation. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects compared to many other therapeutic interventions. A course of treatment typically involves daily sessions over several weeks.
