Although somewhat controversial, a new technology and treatment is now taking place when it comes to neurology. For, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Randolph County is being used in both diagnostics and treatment. Known as TMS, or rTMS when providing multiple applications during a session, the treatment uses electrical charges which run from the brain to the central nervous system.
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 adverse effects of the treatment, occasional fainting and seizures though both have been rare. Whereas, interference with devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators have occurred on a regular basis. In addition, individuals have also reported cognitive changes, hearing loss, pain and hypomania following treatment.
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.
Generally regarded as safe, there are risks. While risks are higher with rTMS applications, both applications have shown risks. Still, most adverse effects increase with higher and ongoing frequency stimulation. These elevated risks are just one reason the treatment remains controversial among a number of psychiatrists and primary health care providers.
TMS can also be performed using butterfly coils which provide an electrical current running across the base of the head. In this case, the coil is enclosed in a plastic wire which is held tightly against the skull during the activation process. After which, the magnetized field induces the brain which then sends a message to nearby nerve cells.
When using butterfly coils, a pulse with only about a 5 centimeter depth into the brain is brought about through an electrical charge. In most cases, this type of TMS is used in cases where only minor damage to the brain or central nervous system has taken place. Whereas, modified coils are almost always used in cases in which there is more severe damage to the central nervous system or brain.
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.
