Benefits of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
- Noninvasive: TMS is a noninvasive procedure that does not require surgery or anesthesia. Unlike other brain stimulation techniques, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), TMS does not involve any invasive procedures, reducing the risk of complications.
- Safe: Serious side effects are rare, with the most common being headaches, scalp pain, and temporary muscle tingling. Compared to other treatments, the risk of adverse effects is significantly lower, making TMS a safer option for many individuals.
- Long-lasting Effects: While the duration of TMS benefits may vary from person to person, many individuals experience sustained improvements in mood and cognitive functioning following a course of TMS treatment. Some may even achieve remission from symptoms, leading to a better long-term prognosis.
- Improved Quality of Life: TMS can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals who have not responded to conventional treatments. Many patients report feeling more energized, motivated, and capable of engaging in daily activities after undergoing TMS therapy.
Side Effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
While transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects during or after treatment sessions. Common side effects include:
- Headaches and Scalp Pain: Headaches and discomfort or tenderness in the scalp area where the electromagnetic coil is placed during TMS are the most frequently reported intricacies of TMS. These are usually mild to moderate in severity and typically resolve within a few hours following the treatment session.
- Muscle Tingling: During TMS, patients may experience tingling sensations in the facial muscles or scalp area due to magnetic stimulation. These sensations are typically mild and transient, lasting only for the duration of the treatment session.
- Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Dizziness or Lightheadedness: In some cases, individuals may feel dizzy or lightheaded during or after TMS treatment. This sensation is usually short-lived and resolves spontaneously without intervention.
- Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears): Temporary ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears, known as tinnitus, may occur during TMS sessions. This side effect is typically mild and resolves once the treatment session is complete.
It’s important to note that serious side effects associated with TMS, such as seizures, are rare. Healthcare providers monitor patients closely during treatment sessions to ensure their safety and well-being. If you experience any concerning or persistent subtleties during TMS therapy, it’s essential to communicate with your healthcare provider promptly for further evaluation and management.

TMS FAQs
TMS is indicated for patients suffering from major depressive disorder (depression), OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), and cigarette addiction.
As research continues, we see TMS has the potential to expand its indications to include anxiety, substance abuse treatment, memory loss, and more.
The TMS magnetic coil stimulates nerve cells within the brain region responsible for mood regulation. This stimulation induces the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. With repeated sessions, this neuronal activity becomes self-sustained.
Referred to as “neuroplasticity,” this process entails tangible changes in the brain, enabling the lasting benefits of TMS even after the completion of treatment. Consequently, heightened activation in this brain region leads to a reduction in patients’ negative symptoms, potentially resulting in the achievement of symptom remission.
Treatments last around 30 minutes. A full treatment cycle can take 2-3 months, with treatment sessions occurring 3-5 times per week.
Yes! TMS is covered by Medicare and most PPO insurances. We are in network with most major insurance companies in California. Contact your health insurance company to confirm.
Have you tried numerous treatment methods, such as medications (SSRIs) or electroconvulsive therapy
with little to no symptom relief? TMS may be the answer for you. If you struggle with treatment-resistant depression, major depressive disorder, OCD, or smoking addiction, you may be a candidate for repetitive TMS.
Research suggests response rates ranging from 30% to 64% for depression and approximately 30% to 60% for OCD. These response rates signify a significant reduction in symptoms, with some individuals achieving remission.
