Beyond Depression: Use of TMS for the Treatment of Pain, Tinnitus, and Other Neuropsychiatric Illnesses
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM CST
Friday, January 15
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The technique also can be beneficial for the off-label treatment of other conditions including chronic pain, tinnitus, and addictions, among other neuropsychiatric illnesses. This session will review the technique of rTMS treatment, possible mechanisms of action, and applications of TMS to conditions beyond MDD and OCD.
