TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a painless, non invasive neurostimulation technique that applies high intensity magnetic impulses to cortex areas by placing a coil on the surface of the head.
\nIt is used as a research tool to gain knowledge of neurophysiological and cognitive mechanisms.
\nThere are many potential therapeutic applications, particularly in psychiatry and neurology: TMS is currently under clinical evaluation in diseases like drug-resistant major depression and chronic neuropathic pain.<\/p>\n
