What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge, FDA-approved treatment for depression. This non-invasive procedure uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting drugs, making it an excellent option for individuals who have not found success with medication or experience intolerable side effects.
How TMS Therapy Works at Our Raleigh Center
At TMS of the Carolinas in Raleigh, our experienced clinicians use state-of-the-art equipment to deliver precisely targeted magnetic pulses. Before your sessions begin, a customized treatment plan is developed based on your specific needs and symptoms. During a typical session, you will comfortably sit in a chair while the TMS device is positioned near your head. The device generates brief magnetic pulses that gently stimulate nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex, the brain region associated with mood control.
Most patients find TMS sessions comfortable and well-tolerated, with no sedation required. Each session typically lasts about 20-40 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients attend sessions five days a week for approximately four to six weeks.
