Therapeutic Use of TMS in Psychiatric Disorders

Abstract

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) enables non-invasive and painless stimulation of brain structures. TMS facilitates the stimulation of neurological responses, both in the processes of weakening and in stimulating neurological activity. Hitherto, it has been shown that the behavioral effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation depend on various factors, such as the activation state of the nerves, the intensity of the stimulation and the duration of the stimulation. The aim of this review is to present the latest advances in brain stimulation methods in experimental therapies for treating a variety of mental disorders. Numerous studies show that it is necessary to conduct more research and to optimize the measurement parameters and the stimulation site itself.
