About TMS Therapy
TMS Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate neurons in the brain. It is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), especially in patients who have not found relief from conventional treatments like medication and psychotherapy.
CE and FDA Approved
Non-invasive, No Anaesthesia
Excellent Response and Remission Rates
Outpatient Procedure
TMS Therapy delivers magnetic pulses to stimulate neurons in the part of the brain controlling mood, an area which is underactive during depression.
The rapid change in the magnetic field induces a current which will excite neurons to start firing again.
How Does TMS Work?
Who can get TMS therapy?
TMS is a treatment option for adult patients suffering from major depressive disorder who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medication. TMS therapy is available by prescription only.
How long does the treatment take?
Depending on which treatment protocol your physician prescribes, one TMS therapy session can last from 3 minutes and up to 37 minutes. All protocols, however, will be applied with one treatment session per day, 5 times per week, over a period of 4-6 weeks.
How does TMS feel?
You sit in a chair in a relaxed position in The TMS Clinic.

Are there any side effects to TMS Therapy?
TMS may cause a mild headache or nausea but you should be able to resume your daily activities right after treatment. TMS therapy is a medical procedure and any side effects experienced during or after receiving the therapy should be reported to your doctor.
