Sydney TMS Clinics opened in February 2015 and specialises in depression treatment. TMS, otherwise known as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, provides a myriad of potential benefits to patients suffering from depression. TMS treatment is worthwhile considering if antidepressant medication treatments have failed to work. Here is a list of benefits associated with TMS treatment as presented by Sydney TMS Clinics:
- TMS is generally well tolerated and is a relatively safe treatment option for people suffering from depression.
- TMS provides a medication-free alternative. It does not cause common side effects often associated with medication like weight gain, sexual problems, tiredness, upset stomach or memory loss.
- TMS has relatively few mild side effects. Some side effects that may be experienced from time to time include mild headaches after treatment and scalp irritation.
- The treatment is non-invasive and does not involve any surgery. It does not require sedation, so patients remain alert during the treatment session. Patients can continue with their daily routine after the treatment is over.
- TMS is non-systemic and does not enter the bloodstream.
- Sydney TMS Clinics offers outpatient consultation for patients. This means that patients can attend their treatment sessions without being hospitalised.
- Treatment is available for adults aged 18 years and over. To see if you are a suitable patient for TMS, please refer to our CHECKLIST.
- Treatment is conducted over a 4 to 12 week period, and each session takes between 30 minutes. Patients must undertake a minimum of 3 sessions per week. Treatment periods will vary from patient to patient, but generally, patients require 30 to 35 treatment sessions.
- TMS treatment is currently being researched for a range of other diseases, including Parkinson’s, Tinnitus, Stroke, and Pain
