Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. It involves placing a magnetic coil against the scalp near the forehead. The pulsing coil generates focused magnetic pulses, which pass through the skull and stimulate the brain's nerve cells associated with mood control and depression.
