Asked Questions
If you have questions about the services we offer, insurance, or anything else related to the Florida BrainLink Initiative, our commonly asked questions are an excellent resource for finding helpful information.
What is TMS?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses brief magnetic pulses provided in a non-invasive manner to stimulate specific regions of the brain. This can be done to turn up or turn down the firing of the brain.
How safe is TMS?
TMS is extremely safe. It can produce a localized tapping sensation or twitching of the jaw. In rare cases, a seizure can occur.
How long is the treatment?
Treatment will vary depending on the condition. Typically, TMS is done over a course of 10 days. Certain conditions may require more prolonged treatment.
What is Connectomics?
The connectome is the concept that the brain is made up of a series of functional centers that communicate with other areas of the brain through a series of complex interactions. This has been studied extensively, similar to the development of knowledge over the human genome. This information can be applied to individualized treatments regarding various neurological conditions.
What is the recovery process with TMS?
We generally recommend that you focus on good sleep habits and rest throughout the time that you are undergoing TMS treatment. Some protocols may be very brief and may not affect how you go about the rest of your day. Other more extensive protocols will involve aggressive physical, occupational, or speech therapy. These can be quite tiring for the patient.
