How TMS Therapy Works?

The TMS therapy is done by a TMS technician or TMS physician. It’s an outpatient procedure, so it may be done in a medical clinic. If it’s done in a hospital, you won’t need to stay overnight.

Before the procedure, you’ll need to remove items that are sensitive to magnets, like jewelry.

Here’s what you can expect during TMS:

1. Your technician will have you wear earplugs to minimize the clicking sound of magnetic impulses. They’ll have you sit in a comfortable chair. You won’t need general anesthesia, and you’ll be awake throughout the treatment.

2. If it’s your first session, your technician will measure your head to determine where to place the magnetic coil. They’ll also take other measurements to personalize the settings on the TMS machine.

3. Your technician will place the coil above the front area of your brain. Next, they’ll start the treatment.

4. You’ll hear a clicking sound as the magnetic impulses are released. You’ll also feel a tapping or knocking sensation beneath the magnetic coil.

5. The treatment can last 30 to 60 minutes. You can drive yourself home after the procedure and resume normal activities.
