Why must TMS be given everyday?
The long term effects of TMS are the result of changes in the actual physical structure of the brain. This process is called “neuroplasticity.” These changes take time and depend upon repeated, frequent administration of TMS. Although TMS does require a time commitment, because it does not require anesthesia, a person can drive themselves to and from treatment and it is usually not necessary to take off much, if any, time from work or school.
