When considering new treatments for persistent and seemingly untreatable mental health, particularly after traditional methods haven't provided the desired relief, it's natural to have questions and concerns about the process and its comfort level. NeuroStar TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy, offered at MidValley Healthcare in Boise and Meridian, provides relief from depression, anxiety, and OCD with minimal discomfort and proven results.
Dispelling Fears: Understanding the Sensation of NeuroStar TMS Treatment
NeuroStar TMS therapy uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, a non-invasive drug free process that does not require anesthesia or sedation. Patients typically feel a tapping sensation on the scalp during treatment, which is the magnetic pulses being administered.
While discomfort levels can vary among individuals, most patients report the sensation as manageable and not painful at all. The intensity of the magnetic pulses is carefully adjusted to each patient's tolerance level, ensuring the treatment remains within a comfortable threshold.
Managing Sensitivity: Tips for a Comfortable NeuroStar TMS Experience
For those concerned about sensitivity during NeuroStar TMS therapy, there are several strategies to enhance comfort. It's important to communicate with your treatment provider about any discomfort during initial treatment. They can adjust the machine's settings to reduce sensitivity while maintaining the effectiveness of the therapy.
Some patients find that using a mild, over-the-counter pain medication before sessions can help manage scalp sensitivity. Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or listening to music during treatment, can also contribute to a more comfortable experience.
Experiencing NeuroStar TMS Without the Pain
Hearing from patients undergoing NeuroStar TMS therapy can reassure those considering the treatment. Many individuals report that any initial discomfort quickly diminishes as they become used to the sensation of the magnetic pulses.
The positive outcomes of the therapy, such as relief from mental health symptoms, often outweigh any initial apprehensions about the treatment process. Hearing directly from those who have gone through the process can offer invaluable insights; here is a testimonial from a patient who has experienced the transformative effects of NeuroStar TMS Therapy firsthand:
Instead of feeling successful, he carried around the weight of feeling like he was living a lie and that he would be a burden to his family, friends, and teammates. Eventually, Drew tried to take his own life.
But Drew’s story was not over. He survived that fateful day, and today, he’s inspired to help others know all their options for treating depression, even when antidepressants don’t work.
Drew tapped into a new possibility to treat his depression with NeuroStar TMS, and so can you.
