TMS - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation | Smile and Face Medical Center

What is TMS Treatment?

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a safe, effective, and non-invasive medical technology that has been widely recognized and applied in Europe and the United States for treating brain-related disorders with significant results.

TMS utilizes the principle of magnetic-electrical conversion to generate magnetic pulses, targeting neural networks in the brain associated with specific diseases to effectively repair, improve, and reset patients' brain function and emotional regulation. This is a non-pharmacological treatment method that does not involve surgery, anesthesia, or sedative medications, allowing patients to remain conscious and alert during treatment.

Treatment Applications

Today, leading universities and hospitals worldwide have conducted various types of medical research, with clinical results showing that navigated TMS therapy can effectively treat multiple brain-related disorders:

Depression
Anxiety disorders
Alzheimer's disease/Brain degeneration
Post-stroke rehabilitation
Chronic neuropathic pain
Fibromyalgia
Parkinson's disease
Auditory hallucinations
Tinnitus
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism
Irritable bowel syndrome

Advantages of Navigated TMS

Navigated TMS is a key technology in TMS treatment, offering significant advantages over traditional TMS systems:

Precise Targeting: Traditional TMS systems without navigation technology can only rely on rough estimates from previous research literature, which may affect treatment effectiveness. Navigated TMS captures the key aspect of TMS treatment, accurately stimulating relevant neural tissues
Personalized Treatment: Uses 3D MRI brain imaging for navigation, precisely targeting the correct brain locations to provide patients with personalized, effective, and highly safe TMS treatment
Accurate Treatment Sites: TMS treatment sites are typically extremely small, and navigation technology ensures the precision of stimulation locations
International Certification: TMS technology has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and received European Conformity (CE) certification, confirming its safety and treatment effectiveness

Treatment Process

Navigated TMS treatment follows a four-step process to ensure treatment precision and effectiveness:

3D Brain Imaging: The system creates a personalized 3D head model through the patient's MRI scan
Optimal Treatment Intensity: After establishing the patient's 3D brain imaging model, treatment staff calculate the optimal treatment intensity through electromyography (EMG) readings
Brain Navigation: Using the 3D brain imaging model, navigation technology locates and identifies specific areas that need stimulation
Consistent and Effective Treatment Experience: After setting the correct stimulation location, TMS treatment can begin. The system automatically saves the patient's required stimulation position and intensity, ensuring patients receive the most stable, deviation-free TMS treatment in subsequent sessions

Safety & Professional Team

We prioritize the safety of every patient, with TMS treatment featuring multiple safety protections:

Non-invasive: No surgery, anesthesia, or sedative medications required; patients remain conscious and alert during treatment
Safe and Non-traumatic: Since TMS only uses magnetic force to alter brain neural activity without changing other chemical components in the patient's body, there are no drug side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, etc.
International Safety Certification: TMS technology has been approved by the U.S. FDA and EU CE certification, confirming its safety and treatment effectiveness
Professional Medical Team: Our center has clinical psychologists and psychiatrists on staff, with treatments conducted by foreign-trained professional medical personnel, ensuring confidence and quality
Strict Safety Guidelines: Operations strictly follow clinical safety guidelines established by European and American TMS authorities, ensuring patients complete treatment without trauma

Treatment Experience

Navigated TMS provides you with a unique treatment experience:

Comfortable Environment: Compared to other similar TMS instruments, research indicates our TMS system produces extremely low noise levels, allowing patients to relax in a quiet and comfortable environment during treatment
Short Treatment Duration: Treatment sessions last only 19 to 37 minutes, and patients can resume normal work and activities after completion
Immediate Effects: Non-invasive magnetic pulses improve neural activity, with expert research proving effective enhancement of mood and improvement in memory and cognitive abilities
Personalized Treatment: We use 3D magnetic resonance imaging (3D-MRI) of the brain for personalized positioning, with TMS intensity and navigation information set according to individual patient needs, creating thoughtful personalized treatment combinations
Continuous Improvement: Treatment can provide ongoing improvement for brain-related disorders such as depression and brain degeneration
