Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy TMS Italy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy in Turin

Programs from 3 weeks

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 and neurological consultations, rehabilitation, mindfulness activities, and pharmacology if necessary.

What we like most about the programs?

Effective combination of the services


All the services are carried out in one place, aimed at the patient's well-being and effective recovery, that helps uncover underlying issues that might be missed when relying solely on one service. Different therapies offered (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, psychotherapy, neurologist consultation, physical activity, mindfulness, group activities, different relaxation techniques, and pharmacological treatment) involve several assessments and evaluations, leading to a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. The programs offer a more comprehensive and tailored approach to addressing the complex and multifaceted nature of mental health, leading to better outcomes and a higher quality of life for individuals seeking to improve their mental state.
Everyone has unique mental health needs and preferences. By combining services, you can access a range of options and customize your treatment plan to better suit your specific circumstances.
