Brain Stimulation Therapies

Brain stimulation therapies are medical treatments that use targeted electrical or magnetic impulses to influence brain activity. They are often used to treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Techniques include Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic fields applied to the scalp, and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which involves surgically implanted electrodes. These therapies can help regulate abnormal brain activity, improve symptoms, and enhance overall functioning. They are non-invasive or minimally invasive options that complement or sometimes replace medication-based treatments, tailored to individual patient needs.
