What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge treatment for depression and other conditions. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting pills. Instead, it uses a specialized device to deliver precisely measured magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. This targeted approach helps stimulate nerve cells that may be underactive, leading to improvements in symptoms.

The TMS Treatment Process at TMS of the Carolinas (Raleigh)
The TMS process begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment. We carefully evaluate each patient's condition and determine if TMS is an appropriate treatment option. If TMS therapy is deemed suitable, our team will explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions, and help the patient feel prepared and informed.
During the actual TMS session, patients remain awake and alert throughout the treatment. They wear protective earplugs to minimize the clicking sound produced by the device. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects compared to many other treatment options. A typical course of treatment involves multiple sessions per week over several weeks.
