Developed by Brainsway the TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Helmet is a non-invasive treatment for clinical depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s and stress related disorders. This unique helmet which treats depression etc with the use of magnets has been already approved in Europe and has lately received the approval of United States Food and Drug Administration. The device is hailed as an alternative to antidepressants is embedded with electromagnetic coils which send magnetic pulses to activate the neurons in deep inside the brain structure.
The helmet is size of a cupped hand and a patient is expected to wear it for 5 sessions over 4-5 weeks. The patient remains awake during the course of treatment, while the helmet does the work. The magnetic field impulse created by the TMS Helmet is almost as slight as that of the MRI machine, yet good enough to energize the nerve tracks in the brain and make them more active to treat various diseases and disorders of the brain.
