Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is a tool used to change the strength of connections between brain cells that form important brain networks for functions like mood, thoughts, and activity. These changes happen when repeated magnetic pulses are delivered to the brain through a coil placed over the head during a non-invasive procedure. TMS has a particularly important role for those who haven’t improved with medications or talk therapy. The McLean Hospital TMS Clinic provides cutting-edge TMS therapy and is actively conducting research studies and clinical trials to further improve TMS effectiveness.
