TMS Technology & Clinical Application - TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive technology invented 40 years ago as an alternative for patients with pharmacoresistant depression [1] - TMS has shown a 70-90% success rate in treating depression and other pathologies [1] - TMS creates brain plasticity, reduces inflammation, increases brain oxygenation, and releases neurotransmitters [1] - TMS can help people with addictions by reducing cravings, allowing healthcare providers to work more effectively with patients [1] TMS Adoption & Economic Impact - Only 1% of the audience knows about TMS [1] - Economic studies since 2009 have demonstrated that offering TMS to patients who don't respond to a single medication for depression would be more economically advantageous for society [3] - Some regions like Sicily, Veneto, and Val d'Aosta have adopted TMS protocols [4] Challenges & Future Prospects - The problem is that each TMS machine costs around €200,000 and requires serious staff training [5] - Investment in personnel, time, and resources is needed to make this extraordinary machine can help everyone [6] - The call to action is to read the 20,000 clinical studies on TMS and advocate for its wider adoption in public services [7][8]
