Why TMS Therapy Actually Works | Ladera Ranch CA

Why TMS Therapy Actually Works | Ladera Ranch CA

Background & History 

TMS employs a coil placed on the scalp to generate rapidly alternating magnetic fields. These magnetic fields penetrate the skull and produce electric currents that depolarize neurons in a specific region of the frontal cortex. In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration approved this procedure. 

TMS is an extremely effective type of therapy

The greatest benefit of TMS is that it is a procedure that really works. Depression treatment with traditional medications has fairly low success rates, especially if the initial one or two medicines do not provide adequate comfort. Thousands of studies have demonstrated that TMS has a success rate of at least 68%, whereas medication has a rate of just 37.5%. 

TMS Therapy – Long Lasting Results

Unlike other medicine-based treatments, TMS results persist long after the treatment is over. TMS is unique in this regard, since one must stay on medications indefinitely or else they risk relapse and discontinuation syndrome. According to research, 90% of people maintain the benefits of TMS for at least 12 months.
