While somewhat controversial, there are a number of new technologies and treatments associated with brain activity. One of the most prominent is that of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Randolph County. In some cases, the treatment is also known as the acronym TMS or, rTMS when providing multiple treatments during a session.
To accomplish this feat, an electric stimulator or generator and magnetic coil are attached to the scalp. After which, the stimulator sends an electrical charge to the coil which originates a magnetic field, thus causing a secondary inverted electrical charge in the brain. To date, the process has shown therapeutic and diagnostic potential with regards to the central nervous system. In some cases, calming a number neurological diseases, though research and practice are still in the evolutionary stage.
The most adverse effects of the treatment, occasional fainting and seizures though both have been rare. Whereas, interference with devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators have occurred on a regular basis. In addition, individuals have also reported cognitive changes, hearing loss, pain and hypomania following treatment.
Researchers and scientists have now proved that TMS can measure different activity and functions in circuits of the brain in humans. The most widely accepted use of TMS is now being used to measure the connection between the primary motor cortex and the central nervous system. For, health care providers can look at the information to determine whether damage to the central nervous system was caused by a past, present or ongoing physical or mental illness.
While generally regarded as safe, there are still risks. While the risks are higher in repetitive applications, all share some risk. Still, the most adverse effects are increased with ongoing and higher frequency stimulation. In fact, these risks are just one of the reasons a number of psychiatrists and medical scientists still find the process controversial.
TMS can also be performed using butterfly coils which provide an electrical current running across the base of the head. In this case, the coil is enclosed in a plastic wire which is held tightly against the skull during the activation process. After which, the magnetized field induces the brain which then sends a message to nearby nerve cells.
In butterfly coil oriented TMS, the magnetic field is about the same as that of an MRI, with a pulse which only involves about 5 centimeters of depth the brain. As such, butterfly coils are often used for minor damage to the nervous system while modified coils are often used in more severe cases. In either case, electrical charges are used to charge different positions of the brain which then sends the electrical charge to the central nervous system which has the ability to regulate different sensations in nerve cells.
Ultimately, research has shown that an electrical current running through a wire generates magnetism around the wire. As such, TMS uses this process to quickly discharge an electrical current from a large capacitor into a coil which produces pulsed magnetized fields. Whether for diagnostic or treatment purposes, the process has shown to be beneficial in calming a number of neurological conditions and illnesses such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS and others.
