What is rTMS/TMS?
rTMS (also called TMS) stands for “repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation”. It is a newly
approved treatment for depression which involves applying a magnetic field to a specific surface
of the brain to create small electrical currents. Studies have clearly shown that rTMS is an
effective treatment for patients with depression, and it is approved for the treatment of treatment
resistant Major Depression by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the Royal Australian
and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.
The treatment is non-invasive and does not involve anaesthetic, seizure induction or loss of
consciousness. The patient is completely alert during the procedure and is free to leave the
clinic and continue their day following their treatment. When appropriate procedures are
followed for patient selection and treatment, there are minimal risks with rTMS and any side
effects are usually mild, transient and/or can be easily managed.
