Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) or Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) works by inducing electrical currents in tissue using a non-invasive stimulating coil at frequencies of up to 100Hz.
The stimulating coil is placed near the intended site of stimulation and trigger pulses initiate brief magnetic pulses transcranially to a subject. This treatment stimulates the brain in a way that may change the electrical activity of the brain’s nerve cell.
Entails magnetic fields that can pass through clothing, tissue and bone to reach otherwise inaccessible areas.
Requires no anesthesia or sedation, so patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Key Differences:
TMS/rTMS utilizes a magnetic field strength billions to trillions of times more powerful than those used by the Resonator™ device. The TMS/rTMS magnetic fields are similar in strength to that produced by MRI machines.
TMS/rTMS magnetic fields are directed into the brain, whereas the magnetic fields of the Resonator™ device are delivered over the entire body.
The Resonator™ device is an Investigational Device limited by Federal (or United States)
law to investigational use. The Resonator™ device is not for sale, nor is the
Magneceutical®
Therapy generally available outside of Investigational Review Board (IRB) approved clinical studies.
