TMS Treatment: Your Path to Neuropathic Pain Relief and Recovery
If you suffer from chronic neuropathic pain without relief from conventional treatments, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy may be for you.
How TMS Works
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive therapy that stimulates specific regions of the brain. During a TMS session, a magnetic coil is placed near the scalp, creating painless magnetic pulses.
Recent studies have shown that people experiencing pain or distress often have increased brain activity in a region called the anterior cingulate gyrus. TMS harnesses the power of magnetic fields to modulate brain activity - reducing pain and improving your quality of life.
By stimulating neural pathways, releasing natural painkillers and promoting brain plasticity, TMS provides a non-invasive, personalized approach to pain management.
Success Rate
In our clinic, patients have seen a 30-40% reduction in their pain symptoms after 15-25 sessions of TMS. 12 out of 15 studies that looked at TMS for chronic pain reported positive results
Common Side Effects
One of the most significant advantages of TMS therapy is its minimal side effects. Common side effects are generally mild and include mild scalp discomfort and occasional headache, which typically subside after each session. Unlike medications, TMS does not have the harmful systemic side effects of many of the medications used to treat chronic pain.
What is the process for TMS?
Typically, patients receive five treatments per week, over a course of six weeks. After the one-time setup process, each treatment session ranges between 3-37 minutes. Using our protocols, Piedmont Neuroscience Center has seen tremendous benefit in both the physical and emotional aspects of chronic neuropathic pain.
