Dr. Suchdev, Dr. Mirazita and Dr. Yadati have once again been recognized by their peers as Top Doctors in New Hampshire Magazine’s annual Top Docs issue for 2025. This honor is recognition of their unwavering commitment to high-quality care, their expertise and skill in their respective fields, and the compassionate approach they offer patients at Oasis Therapeutics.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a minimal side effects that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Primarily used to treat depression and other mood disorders, TMS offers an alternative for patients who have not responded to traditional therapies.
The procedure involves placing a magnetic coil near the scalp, which generates brief magnetic pulses to target specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. TMS is well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, and has been shown to provide significant relief for many individuals.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, specifically targeting regions associated with mood regulation. It has been recommended by the American Psychiatric Association since 2010 and received FDA clearance in 2008 for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Unlike antidepressant medications, TMS is free from common side effects such as weight gain and sexual dysfunction. Additionally, TMS should not be confused with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) as it does not affect cognitive functions like memory.
TMS offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments without the need for anesthesia or a recovery period, allowing patients to immediately return to their usual activities. The therapy involves repeated cycles of magnetic pulses followed by rest periods, conducted under the supervision of a licensed physician and trained staff. With its ability to significantly improve mood and mental health, TMS provides hope for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure, meaning it does not require any surgical intervention or anesthesia. This allows patients to undergo treatment comfortably and return to their daily activities immediately after each session.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has Minimal side effects, making it a safe and well-tolerated treatment option. This means patients can benefit from the therapy without experiencing the widespread side effects often associated with traditional antidepressant medications.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is often covered by insurance, making it an accessible option for many patients. This coverage helps reduce the financial burden on individuals seeking effective treatment for major depressive disorder and other mood disorders.
Treatment by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can have profound effects on symptoms such as:
During a typical Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) session, the patient is seated comfortably in a chair, and a trained technician places a magnetic coil against the patient’s scalp, near the forehead. The physician first determines the appropriate intensity of the magnetic pulses for the individual patient through a process called motor threshold determination, which involves finding the minimal intensity needed to make a small muscle movement in the patient’s hand. This personalized calibration ensures the treatment is tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
The actual Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment involves the coil delivering repetitive magnetic pulses to the targeted areas of the brain, which lasts between 20 to 40 minutes. These pulses are designed to stimulate the nerve cells and improve brain function related to mood regulation. Patients remain awake and alert throughout the session, and most report feeling a tapping sensation on the scalp and hear a clicking sound with each pulse. After the session, patients can immediately return to their daily activities, as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) does not require any recovery period and is free from the systemic side effects typically associated with medications.
