Magnetic-Based TMS Technology in Post-Stroke Therapy at Mandaya Puri
TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells and alleviate symptoms of medical conditions, including stroke. It is considered non-invasive because it does not involve surgery or skin incisions.
Advantages of TMS in post-stroke rehabilitation:
-
Non-invasive: No surgery is required, and patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
-
Safe: TMS has mild side effects, and serious ones like seizures are very rare—less than 0.01% risk per session.
-
Effective: A 2017 study showed that TMS can improve swallowing difficulties in stroke patients by stimulating the motor cortex.
-
Compatible with other treatments: TMS can be combined with medication, mental health therapy, and more, making recovery more holistic and effective.
Patients need not worry—TMS procedures are simple and take only about 30–60 minutes. No anesthesia is required, so patients can return to normal activities afterward.
How Is the TMS Procedure Done?
TMS at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day.
Here’s how it works:
-
The doctor asks the patient to wear earplugs to reduce the clicking sound of magnetic impulses.
-
The patient sits in a comfortable chair.
-
No anesthesia is needed—the patient remains awake throughout the session.
-
For first-time patients, the doctor measures the patient’s head to determine coil placement.
-
The doctor adjusts the TMS machine based on these measurements.
-
The magnetic coil is placed over the front area of the brain, and treatment begins.
-
Patients will hear clicking sounds and feel tapping sensations under the magnetic coil during the session.
