ABOUT rTMS
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a safe, non-invasive method used to treat different psychological and cognitive disorders.
The brain is stimulated by a magnetic field passing through the skull.
The "repetitive" part means that the magnetic pulses are given at regular times.
It's safe, meaning that it has minimal side effects.
It's non-invasive, meaning that it doesn't need anesthesia or surgery.
HOW DOES rTMS WORK
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is when this stimulation is done repeatedly to specific areas of the brain.
rTMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain cells. A magnetic coil placed against the scalp generates pulses that activate these cells and change brain activity.
The pulses can be given at different speeds, depending on the treatment goal. High-frequency rTMS (10 Hz or higher) usually increases brain activity, while low-frequency rTMS (1 Hz) tends to decrease it.
By changing brain activity, rTMS can help treat various neurological and psychiatric conditions.
