transcranial magnetic therapy

chucka2651
I just read that transcranial magnetic therapy may be effective for tinnitus.  The question, of course is whether this therapy would tend to  be a source of emf. Anyone familiar? Thanks. Chuck

RE: transcranial magnetic therapy

Hi Chuck,
If the below explanation is accurate, I wouldn't think putting the brain in the field of a powerful magnetic field would be a good idea.
I've read on here and other sites, that many people who are ES, who had MRI's, which also use magnetic fields, didn't fare too well.
And while the two are not identical procedures, they do both share the common  element/ mechanism of using a magnetic force close to the brain.
Some have even wondered if the MRI caused them to be ES.
TMS activates certain parts of the brain by using electrical energy passed through a coil of wires to create a powerful magnetic field. During the procedure,
energy from this magnetic field is transferred into a patient's brain by means of the coil device applied to the head. Unlike direct electrical energy,
energy from the magnetic field passes through skin and skull, activating the brain painlessly and without surgery or sedation.
