TMS was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2008 after being tested on over one hundred patients. TMS uses a metal coil placed on the scalp to generate rapidly changing magnetic fields. The induced electric currents cross the skull nearly unimpeded and depolarize cortical neurons in a specific location.
TMS Therapy Actually Works
TMS has research in its effectiveness in treating OCD without medication and is effective in combating symptoms for individuals who psychotherapy has had limited benefit. We are proud to offer this non-medication treatment for OCD which many of our clients have found to be extremely beneficial!
The best aspect of TMS is that it delivers real results. There are a large number of studies that demonstrate that conventional medications for depression are not particularly efficient, since the initial two medications rarely provide adequate relief. Thousands of studies have shown that TMS has a success rate of at least 68%, compared to just 37.5% for medication.
Long-Term Results of TMS Therapy
Compared to other medication-based procedures, TMS provides long-term results. This is because one must stay on medications indefinitely or else they risk both relapse and discontinuation syndrome. According to research, 90% of people maintain the advantages of TMS for at least 12 months.
