Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation (rTMS)
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a system of treatment for certain
psychological illnesses using Magnetic waves produced by a Special machine to alter the physiological
functioning of the brain. This procedure has been in practice for many years in India and elsewhere,
though not too easily available in Kolkata due to the high investment involved in the purchase of the
machine and the high cost to patient. It is being used routinely in many Medical Colleges and new
psychiatrists are well-versed in the use of this system of treatment for the appropriate patients.
rTMS treatment procedure is a fairly recent addition to the armament in the fight against Depression and
and allied psychiatric disorders.
ANTARA Psychiatric Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre has included this procedure as an additional
system of treatment in keeping with the developing science of mental healthcare.
