Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS

"Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (“TMS”) has been FDA-approved for treatment of depression since 2008 and has been approved for this use in Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States. Other promising areas of research include treating the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. However, TMS is expensive compared to CES, and the Cochrane Collaboration seriously questions its efficacy. TMS is experimental, not supported by persuasive clinical evidence or endorsed by any source, and usually not reimbursed by insurance. Moreover, unlike CES, TMS treatments require a therapist in attendance and are expensive."
