TMS Therapy
A Non-Invasive Brain Wellness Treatment Design to support Focus, Mood, and Emotional Balance.
Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (TMS) Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an advanced, non-invasive neuromodulation treatment that uses precisely targeted electromagnetic pulses to stimulate mood-regulating areas of the brain. As a leading evidence-based therapy for mental health conditions, TMS is increasingly recognised worldwide and now available in Ireland. Our success rates align with international standards, showing significant improvement in 60% of patients with treatment-resistant conditions.
At Neuromed Clinic, our expert team includes Irish Medical Council registered psychiatrists, licensed clinical psychologists, and specialised TMS technicians who provide personalised care throughout your treatment journey.
How Does TMS Therapy Work?
During TMS treatment, an electromagnetic coil is carefully positioned against your scalp, directly above key brain regions associated with mood regulation and mental health. The coil generates magnetic pulses that painlessly penetrate the skull to stimulate nerve cells in targeted brain areas, helping to normalise neural activity patterns.
A typical TMS session involves:
- Initial mapping to identify the optimal stimulation location
- Magnetic pulses delivered in sequences, creating a gentle tapping sensation
- Continuous monitoring by our trained specialists
- Treatment cycles lasting 3 minutes (4 session in a 30 minute period)
- Daily sessions over 2 weeks (40 sessions total)
What Conditions Does TMS Treat?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy offers CE-marked, evidence-based treatment for patients aged 15 and above, showing remarkable effectiveness in treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Clinical studies demonstrate that 60-70% of patients experience significant symptom reduction, with particularly strong results in treatment-resistant depression. The therapy’s sustainable outcomes can be maintained through periodic maintenance sessions, offering long-term relief for those struggling with persistent depression.
Beyond depression, TMS has received FDA clearance for chronic migraine prevention, providing a non-medication approach to reducing headache frequency and intensity. The treatment has also shown promising results for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), targeting specific neural circuits involved in obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, whilst complementing traditional behavioural therapy. Additionally, emerging research indicates TMS’s potential in treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), helping stabilise mood fluctuations and enhance emotional regulation when used alongside existing therapeutic approaches.
