If you’ve ever stressed out over a deadline or feel overwhelmed with responsibilities, you know how it can be overwhelming and impede your ability to function. Many turn to meditation and yoga as beneficial ways to manage stress, but there is another method that can be just as effective: transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation, also known as TMS , is a non-surgical procedure that uses magnets to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. The device uses an electromagnetic coil placed near the head of the patient to target specific areas of the brain that are associated with mood regulation.   

The treatment, which is FDA approved and available in most dermatology and cosmetic surgery centers, works by stimulating nerve cells in the parts of the brain that control mood regulation. This helps manage stress and anxiety experienced by many patients who undergo TMS treatments.   

Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses targeted pulses of energy to stimulate specific areas of the brain. The procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and most patients experience relief immediately after treatment. TMS is FDA-approved for the treatment of migraines and depression, but is now being used as an effective noninvasive technique for stress management.

The electromagnetic coil placed near the head of the patient emits small electrical currents that stimulate nerve cells in the brain, which in turn helps alleviate symptoms associated with depression, including stress.

The best part is that patients feel results almost immediately after their first treatment. In fact, many report instant stress relief including a sense of calm and well-being.

But TMS is not a magic bullet. It does take time to see results in managing the symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. Patients must undergo a course of treatments for several weeks before experiencing any changes in stress levels. The length of treatment varies from patient to patient, but many treatments range anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks.   

Although transcranial magnetic stimulation may not be ideal for everyone, its painless nature makes it a powerful alternative to other stress management techniques. For patients looking for noninvasive treatments, TMS can provide effective results in less time than traditional methods.
