While some controversy still exists, a new therapy and treatment for neurological conditions is now being offered to the public. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Randolph County is a treatment uses an electrical charge which travels to the brain then onto the central nervous system. Also referred to by the acronyms TMS or rTMS, the treatment is fairly new in the neurological field of medicine.
To accomplish this tasks, an electric generator or stimulator is used to connect a magnetic coil to the scalp. The equipment then sends an electrical surge to the coil which creates a magnetic field. The field, then causes a secondary electrical charge to the brain. To date, the process has shown successful in both therapeutic and diagnostic environments.
The most noted adverse effects of TMS are rare though do include seizures and fainting. Some interference with other devices such as defibrillators and pacemakers has also been noted. In addition, most tests have shown subjects to experience discomfort such as hearing loss, cognitive changes, hypomania and pain.
The measurement of the connection between the central nervous system and primary motor cortex of the brain remains the most widely accepted and used aspect of the treatment. For, health care providers, researchers and scientists have all been able to study damage and determine whether the insult was caused by past, present or progressive insult whether due to a mental illness, physical illness or injury.
While generally regarded as safe, there are still risks. While the risks are higher in repetitive applications, all share some risk. Still, the most adverse effects are increased with ongoing and higher frequency stimulation. In fact, these risks are just one of the reasons a number of psychiatrists and medical scientists still find the process controversial.
When using butterfly coils, TMS uses an electric current which runs across the skull and scalp. In this case, a coil which is enclosed in plastic is held next to the skull during activation. After which, the magnetic field can induce the brain which then activates nearby nerve cells.
When using butterfly coils in TMS, the magnetized field is about the same as a MRI, with the pulse only reaching into about 5 centimeters into the brain. The butterfly coil type of TMS is generally used when there is only minor damage. Whereas, modified electrical coils are most often used in instances where more severe damage has taken place.
Research has shown over time that electrical currents running through wires generate a magnetic field. As such, TMS has now used this process to discharge electrical currents from capacitors into coils which can produce pulsed magnetized fields. Whether being used for treatment or diagnostic purposes, this new technology appears to have great potential when it comes to use in the field of neurology, especially in regards to calming or curing a number of neurological illnesses and conditions including symptoms of ADD, ADHD, Autism, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
