TMS works by using a specialized coil that is placed against the scalp, usually on the prefrontal cortex area, which plays a significant role in mood regulation.
The coil generates magnetic pulses that penetrate the skull and stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This stimulation can help normalize the brain’s activity, particularly in areas that may be underactive in people with depression or other conditions.
The process is painless for most individuals, though they may experience mild side effects like scalp discomfort or headache. The treatment involves multiple sessions, each lasting 20 to 40 minutes, and patients remain awake and alert during the process.
TMS is thought to work by promoting neuroplasticity—helping the brain to rewire and form new connections, potentially improving mood, cognition, and overall mental functioning.
