CMU Health offers transcranial magnetic stimulation for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. TMS is a non-invasive therapy that uses electromagnetic pulses to induce electrical activity in those parts of the brain that are underactive in depressed patients. The magnetic coils are placed against the patient’s head during a session.
Key points about TMS therapy:
We currently offer TMS to adult patients (ages 18 and up) who have not responded to standard treatments for major depression. These people have what is called treatment-resistant depression. If you are interested in TMS, you can meet with one of our clinicians to carefully review your medical history, current symptoms, and past treatments.
