Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation [English Available 英語対応可]

Understanding Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a lasting treatment for depression that uses non-invasive magnetic pulses to stimulate the mood center of the brain. This creates an electric current that has consistently been shown to help patients with treatment-resistant depression who have not found relief from their symptoms with other therapies, such as antidepressant medications or psychotherapy. We perform TMS at our center

in Shimokitazawa TOKYO

TMS has been FDA-approved since 2008, MHLW-approved since 2018 in JAPAN and numerous clinical studies have found this state-of-the-art treatment to be:

Effective

The majority of patients experience relief within several weeks.

Lasting

Patients improve during treatment and continue to feel better after treatment is complete.

Non-invasive

TMS is an outpatient treatment that uses magnets the strength of an MRI placed on the head.

Virtually free of side effects

The most common side effect is headache, experienced briefly by some patients.

One of the benefits of living in an urban area is the widespread availability and accessibility of services. Despite the fact that there are a broad range of treatments available for depression in Tokyo, some hesitate to receive treatment for depression medication (including therapy, counseling, or TMS in STPC). This could be due to any number of reasons - cost/insurance availability, feared side effects, inability to recognize one's symptoms, an unwillingness to seek help, or many others.
