Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) machine is the first of its kind in Canada
A new therapy for PTSD, treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders for Canadian Armed Forces and first responders is now available in Surrey.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive therapy that helps"rewire your brain," said Richard Pucci, chief operating officer of Brainstim Health. It is approved by Health Canada and the FDA for mood disorders and treatment-resistant depression. "It helps rewire the brain by sending these pulses of magnetization into the brain. It's very similar to what all these psychotropic drugs do to people's minds," Pucci said.
"The machine is like putting a baseball cap on your head," he said."And each protocol differs depending upon the patient's requirements. So right now, we're looking at a 10-minute magnetization period."
