transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific regions of the brain. It involves placing a coil on the scalp, which generates brief pulses of magnetic energy to activate or modulate brain activity, potentially beneficial for treating certain neurological and psychiatric conditions.
