Transcranial magnetic stimulation

Transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS is a way of using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain without the need for drugs, and without inserting anything into the brain.

Evidence
TMS is typically used for depression, when conventional treatments have not worked.

There is also some limited evidence for using TMS for migraine prevention or during migraines.

Solve M.E. have partnered with UCLA's Neuromodulation Division at the Iris Cantor Women's Health Center to study the effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for ME/CFS.
