Plain Language

What Is rTMS?

The rTMS treatment chair and magnetic stimulation system used at VCAN, Vadodara

rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is non-invasive (no surgery, no needles), drug-free, and internationally approved for depression and OCD. Sessions are short and you return to normal activities immediately — no admission, no anaesthesia, no recovery time.
