What illnesses has TMS been successful in treating?
TMS is currently being studied as a potential treatment for many disorders including depression, schizophrenia, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, migraine headaches, autism, stroke, and chronic neuropathic pain. Numerous studies have been published in peer reviewed journals which indicate that TMS is even useful in treating cases of depression which are untreatable with any other therapy. Some have called TMS a life saver. When used as a treatment for depression, TMS typically takes several weeks to work. But results are sometimes experienced after only one session.
