Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive treatment in which a magnetic coil placed against the scalp sends gentle pulses to a part of the brain involved in mood. It requires no anaesthesia, and the patient stays awake. Sessions last about twenty to forty minutes and are usually given on weekdays for several weeks.

It is mainly considered for depression that has not improved with medication and for some other conditions, after careful assessment. Patients considering mental health treatment in Mumbai with TMS are first checked for suitability.

How the Procedure Can Help

TMS can lift low mood and improve energy without the side effects of medicines or the need for anaesthesia. Patients can return to normal activities straight after each session.

Risks and Considerations

Scalp discomfort, tingling and mild headache are common early on and usually ease. Rarely, TMS can trigger a seizure, so patients with certain medical histories or metal implants in the head are unsuitable. Daily visits over several weeks are needed, and benefit varies from person to person.
