dTMS

Recently, a new therapeutic technology known as deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (deep TMS) has been put on the market. It is a brain therapy, in which magnetic fields are used to manipulate activity at the cellular level. By doing this, imbalances in cellular activity can be rectified, thereby eliminating unwanted symptoms. Deep…

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is among the newest forms of non-invasive brain therapy. During treatment, patients undergo administration of electromagnetic pulses to the brain. The theory behind this practice is that cellular activity imbalance in the brain can lead to certain conditions; the electromagnetic pulses are used to help restore this…

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (deep TMS) therapy is a newer technique that was constructed by Brainsway in 2007. Treatment works by exciting or inhibiting activity in the brain, which acts to restore neural balance and alleviate negative effects. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a similar, older treatment option, which works in the…

Before the rise of the science-based society that exists today, there were many misconceptions about medical conditions and what caused them. A good example of such misinformation can be found in the history surrounding mental illness. Such conditions were thought to be spiritual or physical in nature, as the action of the…

Whether it be prescription medication, a blood glucose monitor, or a magnetic resonance imaging procedure, it can be easy to overlook the advancements that society has made. As most people do not witness the process of creating and distributing medical products from beginning to end, it can be difficult to realize just…

Those suffering from depression, nicotine addiction, or both, know how difficult it can be to control the symptoms that the brain creates. Both of these conditions can be difficult to overcome, and some people may try multiple treatment options without success. Throughout history, human beings have come to better understand the inner…

Over the years, a great number of technologies have been crafted to help humankind. Without some of these things, life would be much more difficult than it already is. Medical equipment is among the most useful technological innovations to date, and has helped make the lives of millions better. Deep brain stimulation…

Anyone who has tried to stop smoking cold turkey will probably say that the endeavour was far from pleasant. Quitting is difficult enough with the help of smoking cessation tools like nicotine patches and prescription medication, so kicking the habit without any help is understandably difficult. Luckily, we live in a world…

There are so many disorders that have been discovered in the last century, some of which cause mental symptoms, others affecting physical and emotional processes. Medical professionals are still learning what works best to treat some of these conditions. Medication, therapy and other medical practices have shown some promise, depending on which…

Over the years, researchers have crafted many different techniques to stimulate areas of the brain thought to be involved in mood regulation and brain disorders. The theory behind this is that some brain disorders are caused by an underactivity or overactivity of neurons in certain brain structures. By manipulating these centers, researchers…
