Is TMS Like Other Magnet-Based Therapies?

No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for potential therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to the powerful magnetic fields used in magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. Those products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of exciting brain cells. There are no controlled clinical trials that show proof of efficacy for these products.
