About Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Tucson Az

TMS therapy is a new and novel type of brain stimulation that treats depression using brief electromagnetic pulses (significantly weaker than those used in an MRI machine). These pulses pass through the skull easily and stimulate neurons in underactive regions of the brain thought to be responsible for depression. First approved in 2008, it is an effective form of treatment against drug-resistant depression.
