2019 Research about Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS | NYC Psychiatrist

In this video, we introduce Robert D. McMullen, MD who is a psychiatrist in NYC who has been performing psychopharmacology for over 30 years, the last 10 of which includes transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS). Today, he will discuss some recent developments in research regarding TMS. There were recently two conferences held in Vancouver, Canada regarding TMS research. The first was a 2 day conference held by the Clinical Society of TMS, which is the U.S organization for TMS research that has been around for 10 years. The second was the three day International Brain Stimulation held every 2 years. During these conferences, new research on TMS was presented. Usually TMS treatments have been left excitatory on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. It was then observed that if you performed inhibitory treatment on the right side it worked as well. Afterwards, many started doing bilateral treatments. Recent studies suggest that all those forms of treatment work equally as well, although for some, bilateral treatment might work better. Another breakthrough in TMS treatment in the last few years is theta burst stimulation. It shortens the length of treatment on both sides of the brain(40 seconds on the right and 3 minutes and 8 seconds on the left side). Recent findings suggest that doing 2 TMS treatments per day increases the odds of patients responding to TMS treatments. One recent study shows that people who receive 2 treatments per day for 15 days did just as well as people who did 1 treatment per day for 30 days. Using theta bursts significantly lowers the length of the treatment allowing multiple treatments to be performed in one day. Ideally, each treatment should be performed 15 minutes apart for optimal effect. These were just a few of the findings presented at the conferences. Although TMS research is still ongoing, the future is looking bright for this method of treatment. To learn more: Psychiatrist Robert D.
