Repititve Transcranial magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
rTMS is typically used when other depression treatments haven’t been effective. rTMS involved stimulation of an area of your brain using a pulsing magnet placed on your scalp. The magnet is designed to give a focused beam of magnetic energy inducing small electrical currents with the aim of altering brain function for therapeutic purposes.
rTMS works by changing the brain electrical activity and the brain chemicals that are involved in controlling mood.
