At Manas Hospital, we are dedicated to helping you in returning to your better self, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The certified team offers cutting-edge repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMs). This is a non-contact, medication-free therapy that’s transforming care across India.

Understanding rTMS

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-contact, drug-free brain stimulation tool used to treat different mental health and neurological issues. At Manas Hospitals, we mix this new treatment into specialised care plans to help patients get through issues like depression, anxiety, OCD, and chronic pain.

rTMS works by delivering magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain, mainly those involved in mood regulation. These pulses stimulate wonderful neurons and help adjust dysfunctional brain circuits, guiding mental well-being and emotional approach.

Issues Treated with rTMS
rTMS is vital for:

  1. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), mostly treatment-resistant cases
  2. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  3. Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  4. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  5. Chronic Pain Syndromes, such as fibromyalgia and migraines
  6. Addiction and substance use disorders (emerging application)

This therapy gives hope for people who have tried traditional treatments like medications or psychotherapy without remarkable results.

How rTMS Work?

The rTMS procedure places a coil near the scalp, focusing on a specific brain region. The coil discharges magnetic pulses that restore the nerve cell and improve the communication between the brain areas, which is a compromise in the pain perception. The meeting mostly lasts for some minutes, and the standard course includes 20-30 sessions spread across weeks.

The treatment is:

  1. Pain-free
  2. Anesthesia-free
  3. Performed on an outpatient basis
  4. Safe with minimal side effects

Common side effects may include mild headache or scalp discomfort, which usually diminish after a few sessions.

Experienced with rTMS prescription.

  1. Fundamentally, a combination – A comprehensive guidance with our neuropsychiatry team.
  2. Crafting & focusing – Noticing the same brain region that needs stimulation.
  3. Treatment classes – Commonly five sessions per week over a 4–6 week period.
  4. Process Revisiting – Ongoing securing to track upgrading and changing the strategies if necessary.

Is rTMS Right for You?

You may benefit from rTMS:

  1. You’ve experienced limited success with medications or therapy.
  2. You have treatment-resistant depression or OCD.
  3. You’re looking for a non-constant, safe, and productive alternative.
  4. You’re struggling with chronic pain conditions or mental fatigue.

rTMS is not suitable for those people with metal implants in the skull, a history of seizures, or certain neurological disorders. An extensive screening is conducted before treatment begins to ensure protection and effectiveness.

Conclusion

Mental wellness doesn’t have to be a lifelong struggle. With rTMS at Manas  Hospital, you can take back control without pain, without long recovery periods, and without dependency on prescription.
