A new method of treatment of mental disorders based on magnetic stimulation, also called Deep TMS, with significant results.
Presentation
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (DTS ) is a non-invasive medical neurostimulation technique that can be used to treat various psychological or neurological disorders.
Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in treating depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder and certain types of chronic pain.
These areas are identified under medical supervision, and their specific stimulation is guaranteed by the use of a patented helmet. This painless method requires neither hospitalization nor anesthesia and is performed under the supervision of psychiatrists and qualified health professionals.
Les Toises - Centre de Psychiatrie et Psychothérapie is equipped with a state-of-the-art Deep TMS machine to treat certain forms of depression, migraines as well as chronic pain syndromes that are only partially responsive to usual treatments.
This technique is scientifically validated
Each session is supervised by qualified specialists
Magnetic stimulation is effective, non-invasive and well tolerated
This therapeutic approach is presented as an alternative and/or a complement to drug and psychotherapeutic treatments
Therapeutic framework
- The curative treatment established by a specialist requires about 20 sessions, each lasting about 30 minutes, most often included in a personalized care program of 1h30. It takes place over a period of 4 weeks.
- Deep TMS requires a prior in-depth interview with a specialized psychiatrist who will define a course of treatment adapted to the patient, according to the objectives of the follow-up.
- This service is not covered by basic health insurance (LAMal). However, in certain situations, insurance companies may cover it upon request.
