รายละเอียด / Details:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is an innovation in psychiatric and neurologic treatments. From the interesting and advantage points that magnetic field could pass freely through the body without causing pain It can induce electromagnetic changes in the nerve fibers and neuronal circuits while avoiding direct electric current charge to the brain. The development of special devices which are more safety and accurately determine the intensity frequency number of stimuli. The image guided neuro-navigation system using digital processing of magnetic resonance imaging improved the accuracy points which is very important to determine the effects. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can induce neuronal plasticity change and modulate the neuronal circuits which related to many psychiatric and neurologic conditions such as Depression, Schizophrenia, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tinnitus Pain syndrome etc. This article reviews the history mechanism basic techniques side effects and outcome of TMS from many controlled studied which gave a very promising results and safety in treating depression during the past decade. Whether TMS could be established as an alternative treatment in psychiatry and neurology more research is needed to confirm.
