At MedPsych Integrated - Cary, our focus is on delivering this specialized care with compassion and expertise, tailored to meet the needs of our patients right here in Cary.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses a device that generates a magnetic field to gently stimulate nerve cells in the brain's prefrontal cortex. This area is often underactive in individuals experiencing depression. By targeting these specific brain regions, TMS helps to restore normal brain function and can significantly improve symptoms.
How Does TMS Work?
During a typical TMS session, you will be comfortably seated and awake. The TMS device will be positioned near your head, and pulses of magnetic energy will be directed to specific areas of your brain. You will hear a clicking sound and may feel a tapping sensation on your head during the treatment. Most patients find TMS to be well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
