Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Aesculapius TMS Clinic specialises in the treatment of depression, anxiety, OCD and certain types of pain disorders. We are the pioneers of TMS treatment in New Zealand, providing it since 2006. TMS is an effective treatment and worthwhile considering if treatment with medications have failed to work, had intolerable side-effects, or if you prefer an effective focal treatment without the side effects of medication.

TMS provides a myriad of potential benefits to patients suffering with depression including:

  • TMS is well tolerated and is a safe treatment option for people suffering depression, OCD, or anxiety.
  • TMS provides a medication free alternative.  It does not cause common side effects often associated with medication like weight gain, sexual problems, tiredness, upset stomach or memory loss.
  • TMS has few, if any, mild side effects.  Some side effects that may be experienced from time to time include mild headaches after treatment and scalp irritation.
  • The treatment is non-invasive. It does not require sedation so patients remain alert during the treatment session. Patients can continue on with their daily routine after each session is over.
