Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an innovative and very promising treatment for various neurological and psychiatric pathologies, the use of which has been approved by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and by the European Community.
The functioning of TMS is based on a known phenomenon, namely the neuroplasticity of the brain: neurons modify their structure and function as a result of stimuli, traumas or pathologies. Transcranial magnetic stimulation can restore neuronal cells to the status quo, contributing to the regression of some psychiatric and neurological pathologies. The technique has low side effects compared to pharmacological therapies, such as a slight sense of dizziness or headaches, which subside over time. However, the procedure is not indicated on patients who have clips or stents for aneurysms, prostheses or metal splinters in the neck-head area, or face tattoos made with an ink containing metals. TMS is a particularly advantageous therapy because it does not require anesthesia or recovery time after the session, so the patient can immediately return to his daily life.
At the Private Clinic Santa Caterina da Siena, the effectiveness of this treatment is enhanced by a synergy with other therapies, such as e.g. psychological consultations, rehabilitation, mindfulness activities, and pharmacology if necessary.
The psychotherapy itself follows different types, always depending on individual needs, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy, Resocialization Group Therapies. Possible interviews with family members are also foreseen to facilitate interaction with the patient and his return to home.
