What is TMS Treatment?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Depression can have a debilitating impact on daily life, affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being. While some with depression find relief through lifestyle changes, psychotherapy, or medication, others continue to struggle to find peace of mind.

If you are suffering from depression and have found traditional treatment methods to be ineffective, Oasis TMS may be able to help.

What Is TMS Treatment?

At Oasis TMS , our mission is offering an environment conducive to providing results-orientated relief from depression and other mood disorders.

Unlike antidepressants, transcranial magentic stimulation (TMS) therapy does not alter the brain chemically. At Oasis TMS, we use an FDA-approved device to stimulate underactive nerve cells in the brain’s prefrontal cortex, revitalize areas of the brain responsible for mood control and improving central nervous system communication.

TMS trials have shown to produce lasting, positive effects on brain function in people who have otherwise experienced a form of treatment-resistant depression.

TMS Treatment Helps a Range of Conditions:

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy is an FDA-approved therapy proven effective in adults suffering from a variety of common conditions including:

  • Anxiety disorders such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Treatment-resistant depression
  • Help Treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

There is research underway to see whether TMS therapy can work effectively on the following disorders, but they have not yet been cleared by the FDA:

  • Stroke rehabilitation
  • Schizophrenia
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Chronic pain
  • Nicotine addiction
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

Benefits of TMS Therapy

  • Reduction in the emotional effects of depression
  • Greater control of anxiety symptoms
  • Non-systemic delivery, meaning nothing enters the bloodstream
  • No sedation – patient remains awake and alert during treatment
  • Non-invasive – nothing is inserted or implanted into the body
  • No drugs – unlike with some drugs, there are no side effects like weight gain, drowsiness, sleeplessness, stomach upset or sexual problems you may experience with medication. 

Potential Side Effects of TMS 

TMS therapy has minimal risks and side effects. The most common side effects of TMS are mild headaches and scalp discomfort, which usually improve with each session. There is potential for TMS to cause a seizure, but it is extremely rare. Oasis TMS is available to address any concerns and discuss risk factors beforehand.
