rTMS

The human brain is inherently an electrical organ, which functions through the transmission of electrical signals between nerve cells.
During the process of rTMS treatment, a magnetic field is applied, which alters the electrical activity of the brain’s nerve cells, resulting in desired therapeutic effects for each patient, e.g. improvement in mood.

rTMS is an approved treatment for depression, recommended by the American Psychiatric Association (2010) and the FDA (2008). Numerous studies have shown that a large number of patients who did not respond to treatments such as antidepressants or psychotherapy experience significant improvement, while one in three patients achieves full remission.

rTMS is a safe, pain-free method with minimal or no side effects (in some cases a mild, reversible headache or mild scalp discomfort). It Is free of the side effects commonly associated with medications. With rTMS therapy, there are no adverse effects on the patient’s cognitive functions (e.g. memory, concentration), sexual function, weight or appetite.
