What the procedure involves.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and OCD using non-invasive brain stimulation technology. Chinese hospitals have widely adopted TMS with extensive clinical experience across psychiatric and neurological indications. Treatment uses focused magnetic pulses to modulate neural circuits involved in mood regulation without systemic medication side effects.
Step by step.
TMS Assessment
Psychiatric evaluation, treatment resistance confirmation, motor threshold determination, and protocol selection
Treatment Mapping
Neuronavigation-guided coil positioning over left DLPFC (depression) or appropriate target region
Daily TMS Sessions
20-30 daily sessions of repetitive magnetic stimulation, each lasting 20-40 minutes
Response Evaluation
Symptom reassessment, maintenance schedule planning, and long-term treatment optimization
- Non-invasive with no systemic medication side effects
- 60-70% cost savings compared to US TMS centers
- Widely available across major Chinese hospitals
- Can be combined with ongoing medication and therapy
- Scalp discomfort during stimulation (usually adapts)
- Very rare seizure risk (less than 0.1%)
- Headache after sessions (common but mild)
- Not all patients respond to TMS (approximately 50-60% response rate)
