Estimulação Magnética Transcraniana

TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION

A non-invasive and highly effective approach to the treatment of various neurological and psychiatric conditions, using cutting-edge technology to stimulate specific areas of the brain.

Paciente a realizar sessão de EMT

EMT uses focussed magnetic pulses to induce mild electrical currents in specific regions of the brain. This process, known as neuromodulation, helps restore normal neural activity in areas associated with various conditions, such as depression, OCD and chronic pain.

Detalhe da bobina de EMT

The treatment is carried out with the patient comfortably seated, while a coil is positioned over the head. The sessions are safe, do not require anaesthesia and allow the patient to resume their daily activities immediately. The personalisation of the protocol guarantees maximum therapeutic effectiveness.

TREATABLE CONDITIONS

Major Depression (MD)

Approved for adults who have not responded to at least one antidepressant treatment. EMT has demonstrated high response and remission rates, offering new hope for patients with depression resistant to conventional treatment.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

EMT, especially deep EMT (dTMS), is an alternative for patients who have not had sufficient relief from other therapies, acting directly on the brain areas associated with OCD.

Anxiety (TAG)

An area with promising results, with recent studies indicating a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms. EMT offers a non-drug approach for patients seeking alternatives to conventional treatments.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Clinical studies suggest significant efficacy in reducing PTSD symptoms, especially when combined with cognitive-behavioural therapy, helping to modulate brain areas related to traumatic memories.

Motor dysfunction

EMT shows significant potential in the motor rehabilitation of patients with strokes, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis, improving symptoms such as muscle rigidity and movement difficulties. In the case of Parkinson's Disease, it helps relieve symptoms without reversing progression.

Migraine

Approved for the preventive treatment of migraines in adults, EMT has demonstrated its ability to significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks, providing a substantial improvement in patients' quality of life.

Smoking Cessation

EMT shows promising results in reducing nicotine cravings, effectively aiding the process of quitting smoking when other conventional methods have not been sufficient for the patient.

Ataxia

By precisely modulating the activity of cerebellar cells, EMT can significantly improve balance and coordination in patients with cerebellar ataxia, with clinical studies demonstrating measurable improvements in gait and fine motor control.

Chronic Pain

EMT is proving to be a promising therapeutic application in the treatment of neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia, with the ability to modulate the pain centres in the brain. In cases of fibromyalgia, the combination with specialised physiotherapy shows even more significant results.

IMPORTANCE OF THE CONSULTATION

Each individual has a unique neurological profile, with specific needs and conditions that require a detailed and personalised clinical assessment. During the initial consultation, our team of highly qualified specialists will carry out a comprehensive analysis of your medical history, current symptoms, and response to previous treatments, in order to accurately determine whether Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is the ideal therapeutic approach for your specific case.

This assessment process is fundamental not only to determine whether EMT can bring about significant improvements, but also to discuss crucial aspects such as safety parameters, possible side effects, realistic expectations of results, and to clarify all your doubts in a cosy and professional environment. Our professionals are committed to clinical excellence and a high standard of personalised care, ensuring that each patient receives the therapeutic protocol that best suits their specific needs and promotes their long-term well-being.
