TMS Therapy FAQs | Santa Monica
How Does TMS Therapy Work?
Magnetic pulses generate strong, brief magnetic fields that are identical to those generated by MRI machines. A treatment coil is placed on the patient’s head to deliver fields to the left prefrontal cortex, which is involved in mood regulation.
Magnetic pulses traveling through the brain only reach a small portion directly beneath the treatment coil, affecting mood without causing any adverse side effects.
