Understanding TMS: Magnetic Technology in Mandaya Puri Hospital’s Intensive Post-Stroke Therapy Program
TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells. This technology applies repetitive electrical impulses and is also known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
TMS is commonly used to treat symptoms of neurological or mental health disorders. In addition, TMS is often recommended for post-stroke rehabilitation.
So, how does TMS help with post-stroke rehabilitation? A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced, causing brain cells to die. This can lead to long-term loss of muscle movement.
The use of TMS in post-stroke rehabilitation can enhance motor recovery in patients. Researchers also believe that magnetic impulses can alter the activity of the motor cortex, the part of the brain responsible for voluntary body movement.
In fact, a study published in the journal Dysphagia found that TMS could improve swallowing difficulties in stroke patients by stimulating the motor cortex.
Benefits of TMS: Magnetic Technology in the Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Program at Mandaya Puri Hospital
Stroke patients participating in the 14- or 30-day intensive stroke therapy program at Mandaya Puri Hospital can benefit from the TMS technology in several ways:
1. Non-Invasive
One of the main advantages of TMS is that it is non-invasive. This means patients do not require surgery or invasive procedures. Additionally, patients can return home immediately after the procedure, as TMS does not involve the use of anesthesia.
2. Safe to Perform
TMS is a safe procedure with mild side effects. One of the more serious side effects—seizures—is extremely rare. The risk of experiencing serious side effects from TMS is less than 0.01% per session.
3. Effective
The effectiveness of TMS varies depending on the condition being treated. For post-stroke therapy, studies have shown that TMS can improve swallowing difficulties by stimulating the motor cortex.
4. Compatible with Other Post-Stroke Treatments
Another advantage of TMS is that it can be combined with other post-stroke treatments included in Mandaya Puri Hospital’s stroke therapy program. TMS can be used alongside medications, mental health therapy, and more—resulting in more comprehensive and optimal recovery outcomes.
