What to Consider?

To be considered eligible for TMS therapy, patients must meet specific criteria. Firstly, individuals with epilepsy or seizure disorders are not eligible for this treatment. Another exclusion criterion is the presence of metal implants in the skull, as these can interfere with the magnetic fields used during the therapy. Before starting TMS, a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional is essential to determine if it is an appropriate treatment option based on the patient’s medical history and specific health conditions. This ensures the safety and efficacy of the treatment for each individual.
