Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Page Content
The Department of Psychiatry at AUBMC is proud to announce that it now offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy to its patients. TMS is a state-of-the-art therapy in mental health treatment with multiple therapeutic options. The primary use of TMS is for depression but it can be used for other conditions such as anxiety and chronic pain.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is ideal for patients not responding to traditional therapy or for patients who are unable to take medications or cannot participate in psychotherapy.
TMS works by generating a local electromagnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood control and depression. During a TMS session, a hand held coil is placed over the frontal area of the scalp for depression to stimulate the underlying brain cortex (associated with depression). The treatment is very safe, doesn’t require any sedation and there are no significant side effects. For more information, contact us at +961-1-759620
