Trancranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS)
At MIU Center, we offer evidence-based TMS treatment designed to help individuals regain balance, clarity, and hope when traditional treatments have not been effective.
Before starting TMS treatment, patients meet with a provider at MIU Center for a psychiatric evaluation. During this visit, we review your symptoms, treatment history, and overall health to determine if TMS is an appropriate option for you.
Before treatment
TMS sessions take place in a calm, comfortable setting. The device delivers gentle magnetic pulses to the part of the brain responsible for mood regulation.You remain awake and alert the entire time, while a trained technician is present throughout the session
During treatment
There is no downtime after a TMS session, and you can return to your normal daily activities immediately. Over time, many patients begin to notice improvements in mood, energy, and overall functioning.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a noninvasive treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. These pulses help activate underactive brain regions associated with depression and other mood disorders. TMS does not require surgery, anesthesia, or medication and is performed while the patient is awake and comfortable.
TMS is most commonly used to treat major depressive disorder, particularly when symptoms have not improved with medication. It may also help reduce symptoms of anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder in certain cases. A comprehensive evaluation is completed to determine whether TMS is appropriate for each individual.
TMS is approved by the Food and Drug Administration and has been extensively studied. It is considered a safe treatment with minimal risks when provided by trained professionals. Serious complications are rare, and patients are closely monitored throughout the course of treatment.
The most common side effects include mild scalp discomfort or headache during or shortly after treatment. Although such cases are rare, these effects are usually lessen over time. TMS does not cause memory loss, sedation, or cognitive impairment.
Anesthesia or sedation is not required for TMS. Patients remain awake, alert, and able to communicate throughout the session. Most individuals are able to resume normal activities after treatment has been completed.
TMS may be appropriate for adults who have not experienced sufficient relief from antidepressant medications or who have difficulty tolerating side effects. A thorough psychiatric and medical evaluation is completed to determine eligibility.
Many insurance plans cover TMS for depression when specific criterias are met. Coverage varies by plan, and our office assists patients with insurance verification and authorization before treatment begins.
Individuals with certain metal implants in or near the head, such as aneurysm clips or cochlear implants, may not be eligible for TMS. A detailed screening is conducted prior to treatment to ensure patient safety.
The initial evaluation includes a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, review of prior treatments, and discussion of treatment goals. This visit helps determine whether TMS is an appropriate option and allows time to answer any questions.
At MIU Center, TMS treatment is delivered with a personalized, patient centered approach. Our team provides close monitoring, individualized treatment planning, and ongoing support to ensure safety, comfort, and the best possible outcomes.
