TMS Therapy & MeRT Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (TMS) Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an advanced, non-invasive neuromodulation treatment that uses precisely targeted electromagnetic pulses to stimulate mood-regulating areas of the brain. As a leading evidence-based therapy for mental health conditions, TMS is increasingly recognised worldwide and now available in Ireland. Our success rates align with international standards, showing significant improvement in 60% of patients with treatment-resistant conditions.

At Neuromed Clinic Dublin, our expert team includes Irish Medical Council registered psychiatrists, licensed clinical psychologists, and specialised TMS technicians who provide personalised care throughout your treatment journey.

How Does TMS Therapy Work?

During TMS treatment, an electromagnetic coil is carefully positioned against your scalp, directly above key brain regions associated with mood regulation and mental health. The coil generates magnetic pulses that painlessly penetrate the skull to stimulate nerve cells in targeted brain areas, helping to normalise neural activity patterns.

A typical TMS session involves:

Initial mapping to identify the optimal stimulation location
Magnetic pulses delivered in sequences, creating a gentle tapping sensation
Continuous monitoring by our trained specialists
Treatment cycles lasting 3 minutes (4 session in a 30 minute period)
Daily sessions over 2 weeks (40 sessions total)

What Conditions Does TMS Treat?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy offers CE-marked, evidence-based treatment for patients aged 15 and above, showing remarkable effectiveness in treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Clinical studies demonstrate that 60-70% of patients experience significant symptom reduction, with particularly strong results in treatment-resistant depression. The therapy's sustainable outcomes can be maintained through periodic maintenance sessions, offering long-term relief for those struggling with persistent depression.

Beyond depression, TMS has received FDA clearance for chronic migraine prevention, providing a non-medication approach to reducing headache frequency and intensity. The treatment has also shown promising results for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), targeting specific neural circuits involved in obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, whilst complementing traditional behavioural therapy. Additionally, emerging research indicates TMS's potential in treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), helping stabilise mood fluctuations and enhance emotional regulation when used alongside existing therapeutic approaches.

TMS Treatment Benefits: Safe and Non-Invasive Mental Health Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy at Neuromed offers patients a revolutionary approach to mental health treatment without the need for medication or invasive procedures. This advanced neuromodulation therapy requires no anaesthesia and allows patients to immediately return to their daily activities after each session, making it an ideal choice for those seeking effective treatment whilst maintaining their regular routines.

TMS therapy's exceptional safety profile sets it apart from traditional treatments, with most patients experiencing only minimal side effects, such as mild headaches in some cases. Importantly, this innovative treatment preserves cognitive function and memory, ensuring patients can continue their professional and personal activities without interruption. The combination of effectiveness, safety, and convenience makes TMS therapy at Neuromed a leading choice for those seeking modern mental health treatment solutions.

We maintain exceptional treatment standards through rigorous quality assurance measures, including regular equipment calibration, comprehensive patient monitoring, and detailed documentation of every session. Our commitment to excellence extends to our clinical team, who participate in continuous professional development through international conferences and specialised training, ensuring expertise in the latest TMS protocols and best practices. This dedication to maintaining the highest standards of care makes Neuromed a trusted leader in safe, effective neuromodulation therapy.

Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT): Advanced Brain Treatment Technology

MeRT combines cutting-edge Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with real-time EEG monitoring to deliver precision-targeted neuromodulation therapy. This innovative treatment creates personalised protocols based on your unique brain activity patterns, using quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) technology to map and analyse neural networks. Through comprehensive brain mapping, our specialists identify dysregulated areas and develop customised treatment parameters for optimal results.

The treatment process involves precise monitoring and continuous refinement, ensuring each session is optimally targeted for maximum effectiveness. Using advanced qEEG analysis, our team tracks progress through repeat brain mapping and regular assessment of symptom improvements, while real-time EEG monitoring allows for dynamic adjustments during treatment. This data-driven approach enables us to deliver highly personalised neuromodulation therapy tailored to each patient's specific needs.

Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) Treatment

MeRT offers groundbreaking treatment options for various neurological and mental health conditions, demonstrating particularly promising results in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Patients with ASD often experience significant improvements in social communication, emotional regulation, and sleep patterns, alongside a reduction in repetitive behaviours. For those struggling with depression and anxiety, especially in treatment-resistant cases, MeRT provides a targeted approach to mood regulation, offering sustainable symptom improvement and potentially reducing medication dependence.

This innovative therapy has shown remarkable effectiveness in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by addressing underlying neural dysregulation and improving sleep quality, whilst reducing hyperarousal symptoms and enhancing emotional processing. Additionally, patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) often experience significant benefits, including improved cognitive recovery, enhanced memory function, better focus and concentration, and increased emotional stability. MeRT's personalised approach to neurological treatment offers hope for conditions that traditionally present significant therapeutic challenges.
