Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), as an advanced non-invasive and painless treatment method, is fundamentally based on electromagnetic principles. The technology releases a powerful current instantaneously to specially designed coils through a stored energy capacitor, generating a strong magnetic field that penetrates the skull. This magnetic field induces a weak induced current within the brain, triggering a series of complex physiological and biochemical cascading reactions, thus regulating neural activity, promoting functional recovery, improving behavior, and achieving therapeutic goals.
TMS treatment can address a variety of health issues. Its wide range of applications and significant therapeutic effects make it one of the important treatment methods in modern medicine. The following are the main health issues that TMS treatment can address:
Mental health field: The application of this therapy in the mental health field is particularly prominent. It can effectively address various psychological disorders such as schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and paranoid psychosis, providing patients with a non-drug treatment option. At the same time, for complex conditions such as autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and mental developmental delay, TMS treatment has also shown good therapeutic effects, helping patients improve symptoms and enhance quality of life.
Sleep disorders: For common sleep quality issues such as insomnia, early waking, and vivid dreams, TMS treatment can significantly improve patients’ sleep conditions, reduce nighttime awakenings, and extend deep sleep duration, thereby enhancing patients’ overall quality of life.
Neurological diseases: TMS treatment also plays an important role in the treatment of neurological diseases. It covers various conditions such as sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy (low-frequency TMS can be used as an auxiliary treatment), and dystonia. It promotes the restoration and reconstruction of neural function by regulating the excitability of brain neurons.
Obstetrics, gynecology, and pediatric diseases: This therapy is also widely applied in obstetrics and gynecology as well as pediatric fields, including emotional disorders during pregnancy and postpartum recovery issues, as well as psychological and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and tic disorders. By regulating brain neural activity, TMS treatment helps alleviate patients’ symptoms and promotes physical and mental health development.
Pelvic floor dysfunction: For pelvic floor-related issues such as lower urinary tract, bowel, sexual dysfunction, and chronic pelvic pain, TMS treatment also offers effective therapeutic support. By stimulating the pelvic floor nerves and improving nerve conduction function, it alleviates patients’ symptoms and enhances quality of life.
Pain management: In pain management, TMS treatment also performs excellently. It can effectively relieve various chronic pains such as neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain, as well as neuropathic pain, providing patients with a safe and effective pain relief solution.
Adjustment of sub-health status: Additionally, TMS treatment is suitable for adjusting sub-health conditions. By improving the excitability and inhibitory balance of brain neurons, it enhances patients’ adaptability and work efficiency, while also improving mood, memory, and attention, alleviating conditions such as chronic fatigue and pre-examination anxiety, thereby helping patients restore physical and mental health.
