TMS at Wave Treatment Centers

A Proven Alternative for Treatment-Resistant Depression

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an innovative and non-invasive therapy that has transformed the treatment landscape for patients suffering from major depressive disorder, particularly those who have not responded to traditional pharmacological treatments. At Wave Treatment Centers, we utilize TMS to deliver targeted magnetic pulses to areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.

How TMS Works

TMS therapy involves the use of a magnetic coil, placed on the scalp, to generate brief magnetic fields that stimulate nerve cells in the region of the brain responsible for mood control and depression. The treatment is FDA-approved and does not require anesthesia or sedation, allowing patients to remain awake and alert throughout the session.

Benefits of TMS Therapy

  • Effectiveness: Clinical studies and real-world applications have shown TMS to significantly reduce symptoms of depression in many patients, including those who have not benefited from medications.
  • Safety and Tolerability: TMS is well-tolerated and has a favorable safety profile, with few side effects compared to traditional antidepressants. The most common side effect is temporary discomfort at the site of stimulation during treatment.
  • Non-invasive and Non-systemic: Unlike medication, TMS does not have systemic effects, meaning it does not circulate in the bloodstream and thus avoids many side effects associated with antidepressant medications.

Clinical Applications Beyond Depression

While TMS is primarily known for its effectiveness in treating major depressive disorder, ongoing research and clinical trials are exploring its potential in treating a variety of other conditions, including anxiety, bipolar depression, OCD, and memory loss. This makes TMS a versatile tool in psychiatric care and a focus of ongoing innovation at our centers.
