The primary indication for rTMS remains in alleviating depression that has actually not responded to antidepressant medications and therapy-- frequently described as treatment-resistant depression. This was first FDA cleared in 2008 with additional indications now being identified and rTMS can be utilized to treat several other psychological health conditions too. rTMS utilizes targeted magnetic stimulation to stimulate or inhibit specific areas of the brain that connect to dysfunctional circuits revealed to be associated with depression and other psychological health conditions. In so doing, rTMS can bring back proper brain function as well as cause lasting resolution of signs. rTMS has a solid evidence base for its effectiveness (particularly when compared to duplicated medication trials), while still being quite young in its adoption as a common treatment choice. Our team believe rTMS is frequently an underutilized treatment strategy and also wish to enlighten our patients as well as community concerning rTMS. It is safe, non-invasive, has no systemic negative effects that can generally be seen with medications, as well as is normally effectively endured. The procedure calls for no medication or sedation and can be executed in as low as 18 minutes, with some newer procedures (which we offer) just taking 3 mins for each treatment. A typical treatment course is 30-36 sessions expanded over 6-9 weeks.
